Gabriele Munter

Tutzing by Gabriele Munter, 1908
This charming painting is currently on view at the San Diego Museum of Art.  Munter was a student and then "companion" of Kandinsky.  His influence is hinted at in the vibrant colors and loose composition in her paintings, but she also brings a lively quality all her own.  There are several of her paintings in this show of expressionist art at the museum.  The exhibition has many gems by very well known artists, but also excellent ones by those with quieter artistic careers.
