1911, Gabriele Münter, Still Life with Porcelain Dog -- San Diego Museum of Art
From the museum label: Together Münter and Wassily Kandinsky formed Der Blaue Reiter in 1911, which was joined by Alexei von Jawlensky, Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Marianne von Werefkin, and August Macke. Their ideas about the movement, interactions, and spiritual sensations of color and shape were articulated in Kandinsky's publication Concerning the Spiritual in Art the following year. Here the painting is less about the subject represented than it is a study of the psychological and spiritual sensations produced by juxtaposing intense colors and shapes.
