Gabriele Münter was a founding member of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), along with painters Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. Münter studied art under Kandinsky, and the two became professionally and romantically involved for over a decade, each influencing the other’s styles and interests. When World War I began in 1914, Münter and Kandinsky moved to neutral Switzerland. However, he soon returned to his native Russia, and their relationship ended in 1917 when Kandinsky married another woman. For nearly a decade afterward, Münter created relatively little art. Nevertheless, she staged her first major solo exhibition during this time, which this poster was designed to advertise.
