The story of an art educatee who fell in dear with her teacher followed by the creative and personal challenges they presented to each other during their time, together and autonomously. Wassily Kandinsky lived with Gabriele Münter for many years but ultimately moved back to Russia and married someone else. The main story covered the twelve-year relationship, from 1902-1914. Münter and Kandinsky began as traditional painters before condign pioneers in modern art and abstract expression.

Münter twice saved Kandinsky's works from the time they were together: once when German state agents came to confiscate his "degenerate" works and again when she gave them away late in life.

This volume is billed equally historical fiction. Mary Basson, speaking at her book event and signing in May, described it as "very close to the historical reality." The author's literate imagination fills in what nosotros know about these two with scenes and dialogue.

Pairs well with Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter: Letters and Reminiscences 1902-1914, a nonfiction collection of photographs, art works and letters that brought the novel to life, although information technology arrived at my library branch too tardily to read it in parallel. As well pairs well with The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. Münter successfully hid and therefore saved hundreds of works past Kandinsky at her business firm during Earth State of war II. Meanwhile, a more academic review of Münter-Kandinsky influence appears in Kandinsky: A Retrospective, the exhibition catalog that accompanies the hundred and xxx-v pieces displaying in Milwaukee and Nashville.

Mary Basson, the writer, began serving as a docent at the Milwaukee Fine art Museum after education literature for forty years. As a docent, "Boating," painted by Gabriele Münter in 1910, caught Mary's eye and intrigued her. She wanted to know the story that the painting tells. That search led to enquiry which led to the story, a five-year process.

"Boating" appears on the cover of the book: http://drove.mam.org/details.php... Kandinsky is the guy standing upwardly while Münter rows the boat. MAM holds more of Gabrielle Münter'southward paintings than any other museum in North America. http://collection.mam.org/artist.php?...

Kandinsky: A Retrospective, runs for the summertime at MAM. http://mam.org/kandinsky/ . During the three-calendar month exhibition, a July event presented a dramatic reading of letters between Münter and Kandinsky, http://mam.org/calendar/events/index.... … Nashville's Center for the Visual Arts volition host the exhibition from September to January. http://fristcenter.org

Aos oitenta anos, Münter decide doar tudo à Städtische Galerie na Lenbachhaus em Munique.

A história de Gabriele Münter é muito bonita e este livro tem passagens incrivelmente bem escritas para quem for um admirador de arte e da pintura em particular. O que mais me impressionou na vida de Münter, de quem nunca tinha ouvido falar apesar de ser fã de Kandinsky desde os meus 16 anos, foi a devoção que esta dedicou aos quadros do pintor (e num certo sentido ao próprio pintor) mesmo após a separação. Se não fosse ela, muitos dos quadros que hoje conhecemos e contemplamos talvez não existissem...

Her passionate relationship with Kandinsky was a existent roller coaster, peculiarly after he went back to Russian during the first World War, as in Germany he was deemed "the enemy". Later on living decades with Münter and having promised her wedlock, something happened that devastated her. She had assumed him dead, when after a while she no longer heard from him. And then later on 5 years she got a letter from a lawyer stating that "Kandinsky and his wife" demanded that she send back the pictures from Kandinsky that she was storing. What a cad. She became severely depressed. So under the Nazis she hid his pictures risking her life. The book was good reading and I had the feeling I was correct there experiencing all this! Now I need to read a biography about Kandinsky and see how this information matches up, especially since this book was a novel based on her life. ...more than

Roman mit viel Liebe zur Kunst

Das Buch: Hier dreht sich alles um das Leben von Gabriele Münter. 1902 entschließt sie sich, Malerin zu werden. Sie geht in die Lehre bei dem berühmten Maler Wassily Kandinsky in München. Und wird schnell seine Muse und Gefährtin. Doch Gabriele will mehr als nur Bilder malen. Sie möchte ihre Liebe heiraten. Der Maler zögert. Und dann kommen noch die zwei Weltkriege dazwischen. Werden diese beiden doch noch zusammenfinden?

Das Fazit: Eine große Romanze ist hier nicht zu erwarten. Wenn human sich in der Kunstszene auskennt, weiß wie die Liebe der beiden Maler enden wird. Denn diese Personen haben tatsächlich gelebt. Dice Autorin schafft es, einen Roman um die Figur Gabriele Münter zu spinnen, ohne dabei zu viel in den Kitsch abzurutschen. Auch macht dieses Buch Animalism, sich in der Kunst weiter zu belesen. Dice Biographien zu einigen Personen, die in diesem Buch erwähnt werden, habe ich im Anschluss gegoogelt.

Das Buch dreht sich voll und ganz um die Malerin Gabriele Münter. Mit all ihrem Leid in einer Zeitspanne von einem halben Jahrhundert. Sie ist sehr emanzipiert und lebt ihr Leben. Nur mit der Liebe lid sie es nicht so einfach. Kandinsky scheut sich, sich offiziell mit ihr zu zeigen. So bleibt sie nur seine Gefährtin. Lange bleibt Gabriele nur für dice Hoffnung auf die große Liebe zu Kandinsky am Leben. Ja fast schon naiv verhält sie sich ihm gegenüber. Sie weiß, welche Bedeutung die Malereien Kandinskys für die Kunst sein werden. Nie kommt sie ganz von ihm los. Viel Hoffnung, Verzweiflung, Neuanfang treiben Gabriele Münter voran.

Als alles ausweglos erscheint, hilft ihr nur noch die Malerei. Denn sie ist eine leidenschaftliche Malerin und steht Kandinsky in nichts nach. Mit eigenem Stil wurde auch sie berühmt in der Kunstszene. Und auch im Buch werden diese verschiedenen Stimmungen Gabrieles über ihren Drang zur Malerei abgebildet. Trotzdem bleibt sie damit immer am Rande der Gesellschaft. Außerhalb der Kunstszene wird sie nicht anerkannt. Denn eine unverheiratete Frau die malt – wo gibt es denn so etwas in der Zeit um 1910?

„Andere junge Frauen bewegten sich sicher und elegant und wurden zum gesellschaftlichen Mittelpunkt. Ella stolperte am Rand herum." Seite 57

Sprachlich ist das Buch leider einen Tick zu einfach gehalten. Viele kurze Sätze beschreiben die Lage. Es fühlte sich and so an, dass dies bewusst geschah, um eine breitere Masse an Lesern anzusprechen. Denn ein Buch über eine Malerin könnte durchaus abschrecken.

Jedenfalls wurde „Die Malerin" mit viel Herzblut geschrieben. Es scheint, als hätte die Autorin wirklich eine Liebe zu den Gemälden von Frau Münter entdeckt. Auch das Setting ist real, vieles (Personen, Orte, Häuser, Ereignisse) kann man einfach nachgoogeln.

Zusammenfassend ist es ein leichtes und lockeres Buch über eine Malerin, die sich am Anfang des Jahrhunderts in der Männerwelt durchsetzen konnte. So viel Emanzipation muss schon sein.

In diesem Buch wird das Leben der Malerin Gabriele Münter verarbeitet. Man erlebt sie über einen längeren Zeitraum und darf ihre Entwicklung begleiten. Angefangen in der Jugend und wie sie sich in den Maler Kandinsky verliebt, bis hin zu den Zeiten, als die Nazis die Kunst des Malers zerstören wollen und Gabriele doch eine große Portion Mut aufbringen muss.

Persönlich fand ich dice Handlung in dem Buch ganz unterhaltsam, denn es war sehr interessant zu sehen, ob dice Liebe zwischen den beiden ein Happy End bekommen wird oder nicht. Natürlich wissen Kundige des Genres wahrscheinlich, was passieren wird, aber für mich als Neuling state of war es dann ganz interessant. Selbstverständlich kann ich den Namen Kandinsky, aber sein Privatleben state of war mir nicht geläufig.
Auch waren natürlich die Abschnitte über das Malen sehr interessant, denn es werden immer mal wieder bekannte Werke erwähnt. Der historische Aspekt empfand ich als sehr realistisch von der Autorin beschrieben, denn sie gibt dem Leser doch sehr gut Einblicke in das damalige Leben bzw. die Lebensweise der damaligen Menschen.

Die Handlung nimmt gegen Schluss so einiges an Fahrt auf und es wird richtig spannend, denn man will ja wissen, was mit den Bildern des Malers passiert. Allerdings würde ich sagen, dass die Geschichte generell eher ruhig verläuft und es eigentlich keinen Höhepunkt gibt.

Die Charaktere empfand ich eigentlich alle ganz interessant und toll beschrieben. Besonders authentisch fand ich Gabriele und ich habe dann doch auch abschnittsweise mit ihr mitgelitten, denn sie hatte es ja nicht so leicht.

Dice Schreibweise war sehr flüssig und hat sich doch auch sehr gut lesen lassen. Die Geschichte wird aus Gabrieles Perspektive erzählt. Die Handlung ist sehr gut verfolgbar, denn alles war wunderbar verständlich.

Das Encompass finde ich richtig toll, denn der Verlag chapeau ja alle die Bücher, die jetzt hier ähnliche Themen behandeln so entworfen und es gefällt mir richtig gut.

Zur Autorin:
Mary Basson arbeitet im Milwaukee Art Museum, das dice größte Gabriele-Münter-Sammlung Nordamerikas beherbergt. Münters Malerei faszinierte sie so sehr, dass sie sich auf die Spur ihrer Geschichte begab und nach München und zum Gelben Haus in Murnau am Fuße der Alpen reiste.

Die Rettung Kandinskys

Die junge Ella verliebt sich beim Malen in der bayerischen Natur in ihren Lehrer, den verheirateten Wassily Kandinsky. Zu Beginn des twenty. Jahrhunderts kann eine solche Verbindung nur dice Missbilligung der Gesellschaft erregen - doch Ella und Wassily sind nicht nur Lebensgefährten, sondern sie zeigen gemeinsam mit Franz Marc und anderen Künstlern des Blauen Reiters der Welt eine neue Kunstform.
Doch der erste Höhenflug und die berauschende Freude hält nicht ewig an - schon gar nicht mit den politischen Veränderungen in Europa. Doch die dunkelste Zeit, die pure Ernüchterung, folgt mit den Nationalsozialisten, dice den Expressionismus als "entartete Kunst" verunglimpfen. Aber es wird auch Gabriele Münters Stunde: sie nimmt all ihren Mut zusammen und engagiert sich mit all ihren Möglichkeiten für dice Kunst. Ella wird Kandinsky retten...

Dice Stärke der Autorin ist die gut recherchierte Darstellung der Ursprünge des deutschen Expressionismus' und ganz besonders der Künstlervereinigung Der Blaue Reiter. Mich hat dabei vor allem das Leben und die Kunst von Gabriele Münter interessiert, denn auch wenn sie sich - in einer Zeit, in der Frauen kaum ein selbstbestimmtes Leben zugestanden wurde - einen eigenen Namen als Künstlerin gemacht chapeau, ist sie gleichzeitig wohl auf ewig mit Kandinsky verbunden. Ironischerweise wurde sie nach etlichen Beziehungsjahren nicht seine zweite Ehefrau, was Ella zum Glück nicht davon abhielt, seine Werke für die Welt zu retten. Mary Basson schildert das Leben der beiden, was alleine durch die korrekte Einbettung in dice historischen Fakten eindringlich daherkommt. Verstärkt wird dies noch mit dem sehr detaillierten Blick auf Gabriele Münter - ihre Zweifel, Unsicherheiten und Ängste stellt die Autorin glaubhaft dar.

Allerdings hätte das Buch vor allem zu Beginn mehr Schwung vertragen können, denn die Beziehung zwischen Ella und Wassily kommt etwas farblos daher. Ich bin mir sicher, dass ihre jahrelange Beziehung, die sie entgegen all der Konventionen gelebt haben, ziemlich leidenschaftlich war - nicht ohne Grund war Ella sehr verletzt, als Kandinsky plötzlich jeden Kontakt zu ihr verweigert chapeau.
Mit Ellas mutiger Mission nimmt auch das Buch Fahrt auf und zeigt das Leben einer außergewöhnlichen Frau, dice über sich hinauswächst.

Saving Kandinsky is the story of German expressionist painter Gabriele Munter, told in the context of her relationship with Wassily Kandinsky, who was her teacher and lover. Information technology fabricated a fascinating follow-up to "Georgia," the book I but finished most Georgia O'Keeffe, which tells her story through the lens of her relationship with Alfred Stieglitz. Like "Georgia," "Saving Kandinsky" is a novel based on bodily events and covering some of the same time period, beginning before Globe War I.

Munter was a talented artist in her own right, who blossomed under Kandinsky's teaching. They lived and traveled together for about 12 years while Kandinsky was still married to his first married woman. He finally got divorced, just was forced to render to Russian federation by the outbreak of World State of war I. When he didn't reply to her letters, Munter thought he was dead, simply he had actually married someone else, which Munter learned from a letter from Kandinsky'due south lawyer demanding paintings left with her. She became seriously depressed and stopped painting for years, just she refused to part with virtually of the paintings, putting them in storage. When the Nazis condemned Kandinsky and other "degenerate" painters, she hid the paintings (the canvasses removed from their stretchers and rolled up to fit in a smaller space) at her dwelling house outside Munich. That function of the book is bang-up--kept me reading past bedtime to end. On her 80th birthday, she donated her entire collection--about fourscore oil paintings and 330 drawings by Kandinsky and others who were part of the "Bluish Rider" expressionist move--to the Lenbachhaus museum in Munich. I would dearest to visit and meet them for myself.

I discovered this book through a fellow traveler at a Road Scholar programme. When I mentioned that I was training to become a docent at an fine art museum, she said "possibly you'll write a book like Mary Basson did." It turns out that Basson was a docent at the Milwaukee Art Museum, which has the largest U.Due south. collection of Munter's works. In learning well-nigh those works, Basson became fascinated with Munter's story and "Saving Kandinsky" is the upshot.

"What she loved abov Twenty 5 kisses were all it took for Ella to believe that Professor Chiliad was as much in beloved with her as she was with him and that he would marry her, simply then she is introduced to Miss Chimiakin, his wife. "But what was she to practice with the rock inside her? What pocket in her skirt could contain it?" However Ella's interest in both art and the professor, Wassily Kandinsky, compel her to return to the art school. And thus starts a dearest affair which was to last for many years. "What she loved above everything was the way he spoke to her directly and without condescension. He treated her equally though she could set her own goals and solve her own bug."

I liked the characterisation of Ella, the artist Gabriele Münter. We follow her through her pain, passion and accomplishments. In that location is much pain too as passion, only there are also lighter moments enjoyed with her friend and fellow student, Olga. There is the shock when they see their first female nude model, but also the hilarious scene where they visit the Alte Pinakothek to psych themselves up for the forthcoming sitting of a male nude, as "Yet, to come to class on Mon was to cross a border into the strangest country in the world." But once Ella becomes absorbed in her creation, "The flowering of his manliness was no more to her than a rosebud amid leaves."

I likewise dearest the way that Kandinsky compares music to art: "A composer's thought doesn't stay his own." "Orchestra, instrumentalist, singer— information technology doesn't matter the piece. The performer transforms the thought." "The composer leaves directions— adagio , crescendo, etcetera— and and then the performer executes the idea. It'south a collaboration betwixt them." "But the painter has the entire responsibility. He conceives the thought, but he must likewise interpret it. He does non give the impression of the bailiwick so much as the expression of himself."

Composition 6, 1913

In that location are many quotable lines which I take bookmarked, but to include them here will spoil the story for other readers, as will further analysis, so suffice to say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel even though the Kindle edition is marred by several typographical errors.

The writer is so descriptive of place which drew me into the environment and the culture of the time.

I don't usually read books again but if I did Saving Kandinsky would be on the listing.

Mary "Peetie" Basson serves as a Docent at the Milwaukee Art Museum that houses the largest collection of paintings by Gabriele Münter in North America. A gift of Mrs. Harry L. Bradley, the fourteen paintings past Münter grade a cornerstone of the museum's German Expressionist drove.
Immersed in researching the volume, Basson learned to her horror that the Lenbachhaus, the museum to which Münter donated her trove of preserved Blue Passenger works, was about to be closed for iii years. Unwilling to miss seeing the artist's mitt at work in the museum installation, within hours, Basson had bought a plane ticket to Munich. In room after room at the Lenbachhaus, Basson encountered the splendors of the Blueish Riders whose emotional depth and intellectual energy drew her to Münter in the first identify. And luckily for her, at that very moment, a major retrospective of Kandinsky was being held just across the street, a retrospective that would subsequently go on to show at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and at the Guggenheim in New York City.
From Munich, Basson traveled to Murnau to meet Münter'southward "yellowish house" in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps. That business firm has been restored and opened to the public as a reminder of the courage of the artist and a representation of a bright moment in German art history.
For 39 years Peetie Basson taught Upper School English and served as an administrator at the University Schoolhouse of Milwaukee. She and her husband, Steve Basson, raised iii sons on Milwaukee'southward Due east Side. They now split their time between their Milwaukee dwelling and their newly acquired pied-a-terre in Brooklyn, New York.
