Alice Browner and Heike Gronemeyer talk richly and atmospherically about the meeting, life and breakup of one of the most famous couples in the art of the twentieth century — Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Munter. This union, productive for creativity, was personally destructive. Gabriela had to go from being a student in love through a codependent relationship to freeing herself from the shadow of her mentor and lover. The co-authors show the role that the talented and hardworking Gabriele Munter played in the discoveries made by Kandinsky in painting and art theory, as well as in the creation of the Blue Horseman art association. The influence of Munter and other female friends of male artists was ignored by both colleagues in the association and researchers. The book makes this significant correction in the history of one of the most striking phenomena in the art of the twentieth century.
