Kosmos Blauer Reiter

For the artists of the group Der Blaue Reiter, founded in 1911 by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, drawing and printmaking were key activities alongside painting. In 1912, Der Blaue Reiter dedicated its second exhibition to the graphic genres, illustrating an artistic diversity of broader European significance with works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Robert Delaunay and Natalia Goncharova. In "Kosmos Blauer Reiter" the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett is presenting its varied collection of prints by Der Blauer Reiter for the first time, supplemented by selected works from other museums among the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Der Blauer Reiter's engagement with contemporary art in Europe in that period is brought to life in seven thematic chapters with supplementary essays.
