The Blue Four was an exhibition group founded in Weimar in March 1924. It included four painters, the three Bauhaus masters: Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, as well as Alexej von Jawlensky.
It was Galka Scheyer (1889-1945), a German-American painter, art dealer and collector, who brought these artists together in commemoration of the epoch-making work of the editorial team of Der Blaue Reiter.
1924-1936
Blue Four
"Die Blaue Vier" initially exhibited mainly in the Bauhaus environment, and its members, being bound by friendship, exchanged their works among themselves. Through Galka Scheyer, who also coined the name, an exhibition tour succeeded in making the works and artists known in the USA. To this end, she made contact with a whole series of American universities, museums and art associations and also gave numerous lectures on the role of art in society over the course of the next few years.
