Modern art, especially Expressionism, can be found in several museums in the Pfaffenwinkel. Two organizations of artists based in Germany have contributed greatly to the development of abstract art.

 

  

 

Neither a movement nor a school with a definite program, ‘Der Blaue Reiter’ was a loosely knit organization of artists, for example Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter and Franz Marc, that organized group shows between 1911 and 1914.

‘Brücke’ was the other organization of German painters and printmakers, such as Heckel, Kirchner, Mueller, Nolde, Pechstein, Schmidt-Rottluff, that played a crucial role in the development of Expressionism from 1905 to 1913.
