The Blue Rider

The Blue Rider was an influential art movement founded in 1911 by a group of artists in Germany, including Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. It focused on expressive color and abstract forms, emphasizing spiritual and emotional experiences in art. The movement aimed to convey deeper truths beyond naturalistic representation, often using vibrant colors, particularly blue and yellow, as symbols of harmony and spirituality. The Blue Rider played a crucial role in the development of modern art, promoting the idea that art could express inner feelings and the artist's personal vision rather than merely depict the external world.
