Gabriele Münter, daughter of German-American emigrants and partner of Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, travelled to Tunis and Italy, lived in Paris and Stockholm and is an early and prominent example of an independent and cosmopolitan female artist. She hosted the group of artists known as Der Blaue Reiter in her house in Murnau, pursued her very own artistic path into expressionism against all pushback from the art market and found herself celebrated, forgotten and rediscovered.
Compactly and nuanced at the same time Boris von Brauchitsch describes the societal framework for a female artist’s career around 1900, Münter's creative self-assertion at Kandinsky's side, the intrigues of her artist colleagues, the emotional highs and lows as well as the loneliness which she continuously countered with paintings that express vitality and melancholy in equal measure.

Caspar David Friedrich
A childlike disposition coupled with deep melancholy, a somewhat eccentric outsider, a politically inconvenient mind: Caspar David Friedrich – born in Greifswald, controversial during his lifetime, forgotten for half a century after his death, now the most important painter of German Romanticism.
In his concise biography, Boris von Brauchitsch describes how Caspar David...
