Der Blaue Reiter
Der Blaue Reiter
(
The Blue Rider
) was a group of artists united in rejection of the
Neue Künstlervereinigung München
in
Munich
,
Germany
. The group was founded by a number of
Russian emigrants
, including
Wassily Kandinsky
,
Alexej von Jawlensky
,
Marianne von Werefkin
, and native German artists, such as
Franz Marc
,
August Macke
and
Gabriele Münter
. They considered that the principles of the
Neue Künstlervereinigung München
, a group Kandinsky had founded in 1909, had become too strict and traditional.
