Münter & Kandinsky: A film about love and art in Herford!

Herford, Deutschland - In the Capitol cinema in Herford, the film "Münter & Kandinsky" is shown, which tells the fascinating love story of the two artists Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky. The impressive representation of the life of these two prominent personalities and the artistic movement of the blue rider promises a captivating cinema experience.

The premiere of the film will take place on Sunday, October 20, at 5 p.m., followed by a further performance on Wednesday, October 23, at 5 p.m. These two demonstrations are the only occasions in this place to experience the film. The viewer gets an insight into the artistically fruitful but ultimately complicated relationship between Münter and Kandinsky.

The connection to the city of Herford

An interesting aspect of this event is the connection from Gabriele Münter to the city of Herford. She spent her early year in this city before her family moved to Koblenz in 1884. However, Münter often returned to this place and is drawn in film production as an artist who has never completely forgotten her roots.

The artist biography of Johannes Wilkes, which was published in 2023, examines this topic in detail. In his work, he describes memories and impressions of the childhood of Münter in Herford, including concise places such as the old market and Johannisstrasse. These are not only historical details, but also inspiration for their later works.

In the film, some of Münter's paintings and back glass paintings can be seen, which will address the audience both emotionally and visually. The screenwriters supported themselves at the story of the correspondence, diary entries and writings by Münter and Kandinsky, as well as their friends. Many of the dialogues are based on original quotes, which benefits the authenticity of the film and conveys a feeling of closeness to these historical characters to the audience.

The support of film production by the Ahlers Pro Arte Foundation is also remarkable. This Foundation Widmet Gabriele Münter is currently showing its first exhibition in new premises, in which some of the most important works that were created during their time with Kandinsky can be seen. These works include paintings and print graphics that show the path of Münter's artistic work, and the exhibition perfectly complements the cinema performances.

At the same time, the Museum Marta shows photographs by Münter, which offer another insight into your life and work. Here it becomes clear how diverse and extensive your artistic heritage is and how closely it is interwoven with the history of the city of Herford.

The presentation of "Münter & Kandinsky" in the Capitol cinema not only offers a cinematic homage in two of the most outstanding artists of the 20th century, but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in local history. For the spectators there is a rare way to explore the connection between art and personal biography and to experience the events that have shaped the life and work of these two figures. Tickets are already available for the two performances.
