This work by German-AMERICAN artist Konrad Cramer looks as fresh today as when it was painted in 1917. Cramer was one of the first artists anywhere to paint abstractly. Influenced by Kandinsky, he was a member of the Blaue Reiter before he came to the US. #konradcramer #modernism #artoftheday #castleinthesky #derblauereiter #kandinsky #paintingoftheday #arthistory https://www.instagram.com/p/B9fSB-_gIhO/?igshid=8p9d2rhy7wv4

A lovely, late career abstraction by Konrad Cramer, 1962. Cramer played a brief, but very significant role, in the development of modernism in the US. A German immigrant and member of the Blaue Reiter, Cramer was one of the first artists anywhere to paint abstractly. Recently, an early work of his set an auction record at Christie’s. #konradcramer #modernism #blauereiter #artoftheday #interiordesign #abstractart #abstractexpressionism #paintingoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/By2m4E-g2UO/?igshid=1zweidsioacn
