Der Blaue Reiter

Der Blaue Reiter, or "The Blue Rider," was an influential art movement founded in 1911 by artists like Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc in Germany. It sought to express deep emotions through abstract forms and vibrant colors, emphasizing spiritual and symbolic meanings rather than realistic depictions. This movement was part of the broader Expressionist movement, highlighting individual perception and feelings over traditional representation. Der Blaue Reiter played a crucial role in the development of modern art, advocating for the use of color and form as a means of conveying the artist's inner experience and the emotional essence of the world.
