At the heart of this early 20th century movement was the emotionally expressive capacity of paint – and despite its gimmicks, this exhibition is as colourful and energising as you'd expectIn early 1900s Munich, a group of artist friends started exhibiting together as ‘The Blue Rider’. At the heart of the group were the Russian-born painter Wassily Kandinsky and German Franz Marc.
Kandinsky paints his partner Münter as she stands in her blue smock painting outside the walls of the mediaeval city of Kollmünz. Münter in return offers us Kandinsky sitting at the kitchen table with a yellow coffee mug, waiting patiently to tuck into his swirling breakfast bun. If Epstein’s self-portrait is gloomy, Werefkin’s of 1910 is positively diabolical. Set against a vibrating blue and green background, her head is framed by a deep crimson hat which is matched to her lipstick. Werefkin glowers beneath dramatically arched brows with monstrous, reptile eyes – deep red irises ringed with turquoise, colours juxtaposed to give the unsettling impression of intense movement. The effect is deliberately challenging.This she-devil is not how she was seen by others.
