2 days ago7 min read

A landmark exhibition at Schlossmuseum Murnau is restoring Olga Meerson to her rightful place in the canon of modern art, rescuing the accomplished painter from decades of obscurity. Long relegated to a footnote as a muse to Henri Matisse, this retrospective reveals Meerson as a central and dynamic figure within the Blue Rider movement.A peer and student of Wassily Kandinsky, her own body of work exhibits the revolutionary use of color and expressive force that characterized the early German avant-garde. The exhibition, a product of extensive curatorial research, reconstructs her career through a collection of vibrant paintings and personal writings.This revival challenges the historical narrative, prompting a re-examination of early modernism and the many artists whose contributions were overshadowed. Olga Meerson's story is no longer one of silence, but of a triumphant return to the spotlight.
