Der BlaueReiter (The Blue Rider) was a group of artists from the Neue Künstlervereinigung München secessioning in Munich, Germany.
Der BlaueReiter was a German movement lasting from 1911 to 1914, fundamental to Expressionism, along with Die Brücke which was founded the previous decade in 1905.
An extensive collection of paintings by Der BlaueReiter is exhibited in the Städtische Galerie in the Lenbachhaus in Munich.
Less united stylistically and as a group than the Brücke, their art ranged from the sometime pure abstractions of Kandinsky to the romantic imagery of Marc.
In 1911, Kandinsky and Marc prepared a significant collection of articles and illustrations published as the “BlaueReiter” Album.
Common to the artists in the group was a philosophical spirit, an intellectual approach to technique, and great lyrical spontaneity.
