{"product_id":"saving-kandinsky-9780991149605","title":"Saving Kandinsky","description":"As they paint together on the Bavarian mountainside, young Gabriele (Ella) M nter falls in love with her married teacher, Wassily Kandinsky. While their illicit love faces the disapproval of early 20th century European society, the two artists forge a partnership that will offer the world its first taste of Abstract Expressionism. Along with Alexei Jawlensky, Franz Marc, and other members of the Blue Rider, M nter and Kandinsky give birth to something truly new in art. Yet the delights of that heady time together are not to last, certainly not past the time of the Nazi purge of \"Degenerate Art.\" That period will test Ella's mettle as well as her dedication to art and to love.Gabriele M nter's life is a tale of courage in the face of personal and historical crisis. Saving Kandinsky is her story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Basson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Basson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780991149605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2014 pg. 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary \"Peetie\" Basson serves as a Docent at the Milwaukee Art Museum that houses the largest collection of paintings by Gabriele Münter in North America.
