How Bavaria’s Blue Light Inspired Franz Marc’s Revolutionary Art Movement
A new cultural event is exploring the lasting impact of Franz Marc and the Blue Rider group on the region between Lake Kochel and Lake Staffelsee. The area’s distinctive blue light once inspired these Expressionist artists, and now their influence on art, literature, and music is being re-examined in a fresh context.
The Blue Rider group, co-founded by Franz Marc, was drawn to the landscapes around Lake Kochel and Lake Staffelsee in the early 20th century. The region’s unique blue-tinged light became a defining feature of their work, shaping their bold, colourful style.
The event offers a deeper look at how Franz Marc and the Blue Rider group transformed a quiet Bavarian landscape into a hub of artistic innovation. By revisiting their work, it connects their historical influence to the region’s present-day cultural scene. No living artists directly linked to their legacy in the area have been identified in current sources.
