Gabriele Munter – Lady in an armchair

Poster with the work, Lady in an armchair , by the German artist, Gabriele Münter (1877-1962). In 2018, Louisiana's exhibition featured Gabriele Münter, who was one of the most important German impressionists.

Before Gabriele Münter began painting, she had already started taking photographs around 1900 – the first time on a trip to the USA. With the camera in hand, she began to capture and preserve "the world", but soon she began to paint almost daily and continued on that path throughout her life.

Gabriele Münter was an open and experimental artist with an international network and an extensive exhibition activity. During World War I, she lived in Stockholm and in Copenhagen, where in 1918 she had her artistic breakthrough with her first major solo exhibition at Den Frie in Copenhagen with 100 paintings, 20 stained glass windows, etchings and murals.

In his 60-year artistic career, he created Gabriele Münter over 2000 paintings, several thousand drawings, watercolors, stained glass, graphic magazines and around 1200 photographs.
