Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Blue Rider movement, active in Germany from 1911-1914, sought to move art beyond depictions of the mundane and towards capturing spiritual truths. This was particularly important in the wake of the industrial revolution and the anxieties it induced about the state of humanity. The movement's artists, including Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and Gabriele Munter, sought to express these spiritual truths through vivid, abstracted forms and bright, expressive colors.
