While pioneering ideas about the role of abstraction and the sensory
connections between art and music, Münter rejected modern industrial
society, and along with Wassily Kandinsky, who moved with her to the
eleventh-century Bavarian market town of Murnau am Staffelsee in 1908,
produced work that referenced traditional folk arts and handmade items such
as this wooden doll.
