Gabriele Münter decided at an early age to become an artist, but she was denied admittance to the German academies because she was a woman. She enrolled instead in Munich’s Phalanx School, where she soon became attached to the school’s director, Vasily Kandinsky. The two became companions, and Münter would eventually be one of the founders of the Blaue Reiter. In contrast to Kandinsky’s shift towards abstraction, Münter remained a representational artist. Her landscapes and still lifes in the years before 1910 are characterized by planes of bright colors, often applied with the palette knife as well as the brush. Many of her works from these years depict the landscapes of small Bavarian towns like Murnau and Tutzing, places untouched by industrialization.
