[Michael Fitzgerald · Rating 4 out of 5]

A little harder to grasp than other books in this series as it covers multiple artists.

[Nico · Rating 4 out of 5]

Grafisch en typografisch kunstboek voor jeugdige lezers in eenvoudige bewoordingen maar zonder kinderachtig te worden. In hoofdlijnen de geschiedenis van kunstenaarsgroep Der Blauwe Reiter, en (fragmenten van) afbeeldingen uit met name het werk van Marc, Kandisky, Menterwolde, Jawlensky, Macke en Klee.

The Blue Rider was a German Expressionist movement established in 1911. Comprised of Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Paul Klee, and others, they believed that colors and forms had equivalence with sounds and notes of music. The group was disrupted by the outbreak of World War I.
