Countryside Near Paris (Bei Paris II)
Gabriele Münter
European Art
Gabriele Münter’s studies of the Parisian countryside were executed en plein air (outdoors) with overlapping strokes of wet paint, thickly applied with a palette knife, resulting in nearly abstracted images of land and sky. Of her landscape painting, Münter said, “My main difficulty was I could not paint fast enough. My pictures are all moments of life—I mean instantaneous visual experiences, generally noted very rapidly and spontaneously. When I begin to paint, it’s like leaping suddenly into deep waters, and I never know beforehand whether I will be able to swim.”
