Led by Dr. Batia Cohen, this program highlights Gabriele Münter’s contributions to modern art and her pivotal role in the Blue Rider group. Often overshadowed by her partner, Wassily Kandinsky, Münter developed a bold style rooted in color theory and expression. Participants will see how her work shaped early abstraction and deserves equal recognition alongside Kandinsky’s.
This program is part of the series Women in Art with Dr. Batia Cohen. For centuries, women have been relegated to a footnote or a simple phrase in the history of art. Usually, their art is valued at a lesser price than their male contemporaries. It is time to give them their rightful place and importance! Artemisia Gentileschi and the Baroque, Gabriele Münter and the Theory of Color, Helen Frankenthaler and the abstract expression, Marisol and Pop Art in New York, and Yayoi Kusama and her therapeutic art.
