1910 (ca.), Alexej von Jawlensky, Still Life with Flowers and Fruit [Stillleben mit Blumen und Früchten] -- Kupferstichkabinett (Berlin)
From the museum label:
In September 1913, the gallerist Herwarth Walden organized the Erster Deutscher Herbstsalon (First German Autumn Salon) in Berlin, the largest exhibition of modern art in Germany prior to World War I. The show, curated by Franz Marc and August Macke, focused on the artists of Der Blaue Reiter, although numerous other protagonists of the European art scene such as the Italian Futurists were also represented. Alexej von Jawlensky and Marianne von Werefkin, who were friends of Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky, now joined the circle of Der Blaue Reiter as well. Until 1912, both of them still belonged to the Neue Künstlervereinigung München (New Artists' Association Munich).
In 1924, Jawlensky formed the artists' group Die Blaue Vier along with Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Lyonel Feininger, who now taught at the Bauhaus in Weimar. In the United States, they were marketed by the gallerist Galka Scheyer as The Blue Four.
