Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) was a group of expressionist artists established in Munich in 1911.

Der Blaue Reiter (Il cavaliere blu) fu un gruppo di artisti espressionisti formatosi a Monaco di Baviera nel 1911.

Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, August Macke, Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin and others founded the group in response to Neue Künstlervereinigung's (another artists' group of which Kandinsky was a member) rejection of Kandinsky's painting Last Judgement from an exhibition.

Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, August Macke, Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin ed altri fondarono il gruppo in risposta all'esclusione da una mostra, da parte della Neue Künstlervereinigung (Nuova Unione degli Artisti, un altro gruppo di cui Kandinsky era membro), del quadro di Kandinsky Il giudizio universale.

Gabriele Münter and Paul Klee were also involved.

Gabriele Münter e Paul Klee ebbero anch'essi a che fare con il movimento.

The group, which had no clear manifesto, was centred around Kandinsky and Marc.

Il gruppo, che non aveva un manifesto esplicito, era centrato attorno a Kandinsky e Marc.

The name, Der Blaue Reiter, derived from Marc's enthusiasm for horses and Kandinsky's love of the colour blue.

Il nome, Il cavaliere blu, ebbe origine dalla passione di Marc per i cavalli e dall'amore di Kandinsky per il colore blu.

For Kandinsky, blue is the colour of spirituality, the darker the more it awakens human desire for the eternal (see his book On the Spiritual in Art, 1911).

Per Kandinsky, il blu è il colore della spiritualità, più è scuro e più risveglia l'umano desiderio per l'eterno (si veda il suo libro On the Spiritual in Art, 1911).

Kandinsky had also done an artwork of the same name (Der Blaue Reiter) in 1903.

Kandinsky aveva inoltre creato un'opera d'arte con lo stesso nome (Der Blaue Reiter) nel 1903.

Der Blaue Reiter organized exhibitions in 1911 and 1912 which toured Germany.

Nel 1911 e 1912 Der Blaue Reiter organizzò delle mostre che fecero il giro della Germania.

They also published an almanac featuring contemporary, primitive and folk art, along with children's paintings.

Pubblicò inoltre un almanacco che presentava arte contemporanea, primitiva e popolare insieme a dipinti di bambini.

In 1913 they exhibited in the first German Herbstsalon.

Their approaches and aims varied from artist to artist;

Gli approcci e scopi dei membri del gruppo variavano da artista ad artista;

however, they all sought to express spiritual truths through their art.

tuttavia tutti cercavano di esprimere verità spirituali attraverso la loro arte.

They believed in the promotion of modern art and the connection between visual art and music, the spiritual and symbolic associations of colour, and a spontaneous intuitive approach to painting.

Credevano nella promozione dell'arte moderna e nella relazione tra arte visuale e musica, nelle associazioni spirituali e simboliche del colore e in uno spontaneo ed intuitivo approccio alla pittura.

Members were interested in European medieval art and primitivism as well as the contemporary, non-figurative art scene in France.

I membri del gruppo si interessarono all'arte medievale europea ed al primitivismo, come pure al panorama artistico contemporaneo e non figurativo in Francia.

As a result of their encounters with cubist and Rayonist ideas, they moved towards abstraction.

A seguito del loro incontro con le idee cubiste e radiantiste, mossero verso l'astrazione.

They finally disbanded because of the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, whereupon Kandinsky moved back to Russia.

Infine nel 1914 si sciolsero a causa dello scoppio della prima guerra mondiale allorché Kandinsky fece ritorno in Russia.
