Gabriele Münter was a German Expressionist painter and one of the most important female artists of the early 20th century. She played a central role in the development of modern art in Germany and was a founding member of the influential artist group Der Blaue Reiter.

Her style evolved from Impressionist influences toward a more expressive and symbolic visual language. She often used flat areas of color and dark contours, giving her paintings a powerful, almost folk-art character.
