KANDINSKY, Vassily (1866-1944) – MARC, Franz (1880-1916).
Der Blaue Reiter. Munich : R. Piper & Co., 1912.
Edition originale de l’ouvrage fondateur du mouvement expressionniste allemand.

Der Blaue Reiter est un cercle de peintres et amis né dans l’effervescence artistique qui anime Munich au début du XXe siècle. Les fondateurs, Kandinsky et Marc, ont organisé deux expositions en 1911 et 1912 et affirmé leur désir commun de rénover le langage artistique. C’est à la suite de ces expositions que Der Blaue Reiter, un livre imaginé sur le modèle de l’almanach, fut publié en 1912.

Der Blaue Reiter visait à montrer que la question de la forme était secondaire dans l’art, que la question de l’art était avant tout une question de contenu. Les illustrations de ce livre à l’importance capitale pour l’expressionnisme allemand ont été réalisées d’après les travaux des plus grands artistes modernes allemands et français tels que Arp, Kandinsky, Marc, Kircher, Heckel, Nolde ou encore Pechstein.

La guerre contraignit le groupe à se séparer et mit fin au cercle du Blaue Reiter dès 1914. La disparition de Franz Marc en 1916 fit de ce livre une œuvre unique ayant considérablement influencé l’évolution ultérieure de l’art abstrait.
