Drawing with brushes

A lecture by Dr. Ivan Ristić
Art historian and curator at the Leopold Museum, Vienna

Outlining and delimiting, creating connections, locating breaks - strong contours are considered Gabriele Münter's trademark. The painterly implementation of the simple pencil sketches confirmed the correctness of the line framework and revealed the artist's desire for clarity.

In his lecture, Ivan Ristić explores the question of which encounters, influences and considerations contributed to Gabriele Münter finding a special path in modern painting along her lines.
