Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider)

Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) was an influential group of early 20th-century artists based in Germany, active around 1911-1914. Founded by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, their aim was to explore spiritual and emotional expression through bold colors, dynamic compositions, and innovative techniques. They sought to break away from traditional artistic styles, emphasizing intuition and inner experience. The movement played a key role in the development of abstract art and symbolized a pursuit of deeper, universal truths through creative experimentation. Their work influenced modern art by fostering a focus on color, form, and emotional resonance.
