The Blue Rider

“What comes to mind when you picture expressionism?” asks the wall text in the first room of the Expressionists exhibition at Tate Modern. Until 20th October 2024, the gallery is exploring the works of several artists associated with the expressionist movement, particularly those belonging to a circle of painters known as the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter). The Blue Rider was a group of modern…

MWW Artwork of the Day (11/20/23) Albert Bloch (American/German, 1882-1961) Duel (1912) Oil on canvas, 100 x 127.6 cm. Private Collection

The sense of penetrating emotion in the figures of "Duel" is set against a semi-abstracted landscape in non-naturalistic forms and color tones, a nod to his Der Blaue Reiter colleagues as well as other highly influential artists on the various German Expressionists including van Gogh and Edvard Munch, whose particular focus on the human condition is visible in the figure at front center. "Duel" remained in Bloch's collection until his death in 1961.

Franz Marc (German, 1880-1916)

Grazing Horses IV (The Red Horses), 1911

Oil on canvas, 121 x 183 cm (47 5/8 x 72 1/16 in.)

On display at Harvard Art Museums

“In 1911, deep in discussions with other members of the expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter and preoccupied with questions of color, Marc began work on Grazing Horses IV. Wishing to give form to inner experience and to free himself from formal constraints imposed by the outside world, he aimed to detach color from its descriptive function and assigned each primary color a specific symbolic value. As this painting's numeric title suggests, Marc returned repeatedly to the horse as a subject. He became well known for his preoccupation with animals, seeing them as the embodiment of a better, purer world, the bringers of spiritual renewal to Western culture.

Grazing Horses IV became the artist's first work to enter a museum collection, the same year it was made. Like Heckel's triptych and Kirchner's self-portrait nearby, the painting first belonged to the Folkwang Museum in Hagen (later in Essen), which was at the vanguard of contemporary art collecting in Germany at the time.

The painting was removed from the collection in 1937 as part of the National Socialist campaign to rid German museums of ‘degenerate art.’”
