Kunsthaus Zurich: Der Blaue Reiter/The Blue Rider

 The Blue Rider group formed in Munich around 1911-12 and was associated with Wassily Kandinsky and his partner Gabriele Munter, Marianne von Werefkin and her partner Alexej von Jawlensky, Franz Marc, August Macke, Paul Klee.  Although this was a different group than 'Die Brucke,' I cannot distinguish them and they all look like German Expressionists influenced by the French Fauves.
