The museum is presenting the first retrospective in Spain on Gabriele Münter (1877-1962), a key figure in early 20th-century German Expressionism and one of the founders of the legendary Munich-based group of artists Der Blaue Reiter [The Blue Rider].
The exhibition, which includes more than one hundred paintings, drawings, prints and photographs, aims to reveal an artist who rebelled against the limits imposed on women of her day and to demonstrate the richness and variety of her work. Through her acute gaze Münter introduces us into her private world of landscapes and everyday objects, friends, lovers and her own image, which are all refined to their essence through her precise lines and intense colours.
Friends have the chance to visit the exhibition before it opens to the public in the company of a guest on 10 November and also to take part in one of the private guided tours scheduled for various dates and times following the inauguration (prior booking required).
