Galerie Gunzenhauser, Munich.
Private collection, Germany (bought in the 70s at the gallery above).The work Rotes Moos, which Münter painted in her mature later period, consists of areas of colour harmoniously brought together. They depict a concrete, yet strongly abstracted landscape. Münter felt much more committed to the concept of nature than to abstraction, and found in the flat composition of the mountainous landscape, the absence of shadow and the contouring of individual areas, a fitting stylistic device, which is brought to bear splendidly in the present painting. In her late work, Gabriele Münter consistently used motifs from the Blauer Reiter period. Thus, we are struck by how close Rotes Moos is in composition and colour to the painting Seelandschaft mit drei Kugelbäumen circa 1909. The blue mountain chain looms in the upper half of the picture and only appears to be separated from the green of the fields in the foreground by the red horizontal band of moss. The lack of spatial depth is replaced by the dominant colouring, so that the (dark) contours of the landscape elements are used only in a very targeted way. In many cases the areas of colour are placed directly alongside one another, or they are separated by the shimmering ground colour. Rotes Moos reverberates splendidly with Münter's art and skill, whereby the radical position of her early years has yielded to an inner harmony, which in the luminosity and interplay of colours gives witness to an intensity, which characterises Münter's work in her best years
