For the first time, the exhibition allows to trace concretely the connections between Bavarian and Russian folk art, Japanese woodcuts,children's drawings, contemporary music, and the works from Bali, Gabon,Oceania, Sri Lanka, Mexico, and Egypt depicted in The Blue RiderAlmanac. The dialogue between important loans, such as from the Centre Pompidou in Paris or the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the works of the Lenbachhaus collection opens up new perspectives on the self-image of the Blue Rider.
