After restless and difficult years, Gabriele Münter returned to her second home in Murnau in Upper Bavaria in the 1930s, where her relationship with the art historian Johannes Eichner would play a key role. He encouraged her to resume painting and to revisit the places where the artists of the "Blaue Reiter" gathered to paint. Gabriele Münter's late paintings also bear witness to her characteristic strength of form and expressiveness of color. The strong and flat colors, framed by determined and confident black lines, impressively distinguish the landscape. The view over the vast Murnau Moss was one of the artist's favorite motifs. This stretch of land enchants with its moorland plain amidst an otherwise hilly landscape formed by ice-age moraines. Murnau lies on the edge of the swampy moss on an ascending slope. The so-called Russian House, which Gabriele Münter acquired in 1909, is also located on this slope. She had returned to the place from where it was only a few steps to enjoy the vista of the mountain range towering in the distance. Gabriele Münter shows the light veil of mist over the moorland, she shows the special ambiance of the change of the daylight. In subtle gradations of the tonal values, she creates an image that precisely traces the course of the mountainous horizon line. Gabriele Münter makes the mountains glow with incomparable radiance.
