Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky were both passionate about art, and as part of the influential movement known as The Blue Rider, they played a significant role in shaping classical modernism in the early 20th century. Their relationship went beyond art, as they were also romantically involved. However, as Kandinsky gained widespread fame, accolades, and financial success, Münter began to struggle with his changing persona, finding it harder to connect with him.
