Art

The city is famous as an art center. The most decisive year was 1907, when Wassily Kandinsky with a group of adepts started a new page. They were surely influenced not only by impressionists, but also by cubists, however they developed a totally new page, and arrived to abstract art. During Nazism the school was not  encouraged.  There was a "Degenerative art exhibition" slightly reminding Soviet excesses in 1970 ("bulldozer exhibition"). Kandinsky flew to Paris and died there in 1943. Paul Klee returned to Switzerland. In USSR their achievements were also disliked. Many paintings were put into basement and eventually destroyed by fire ;-\

Me coming to nice Lehnbach house for exhibition.	Original design for Jubilee: 100 years after 1907!	One of paintings that gave name to the group "Blue Rider". Franz Marc fell in WW1	Painting of St. Ursula church to left by WK and itself now. The photo is mine, but at night. The tower is packet, its state is not good. Any money to spare?
Progress to abstract by WK, Gradually figures go away: Policeman, St. George, Red Spot, Composition. But something stays: spear, painter himself. Even in the fourth paintingin the right below corner the artist is clearly seen.				"Various parts" - indeed they are seen
Alexei von Jawlensky: "Archangel" and "Love". But the latter seems like a Hassidic head with curls.		Paul Klee: "Intoxication" (they drink a lot here), "Lion"		Composer A. Schoenberg produced the painting
Pre-Kandinskite seems obsolete - how many times you can cut Joann's head?

Miscellaneous views

New Jewish center on Jacobplatz. Crane is not inside!	If kosher restaurant closed, use vegetarian. The name means innocent person, like in "The Idiot". The place is nice, but ask "pure veg"	If the restaurant is closed use banana and beer	But some beer can hack you!
Munich grass can provide necessary rest after too hard work and/or much beer.	If things are really bad, God forbid, many subway stations have medical equipment!	The state of art Matrix? No, central metro station. Effect is magnified by mirrors	This is the view on Switzerland. They proclaimed a strike! So, I was forced to go via Athens and arrived to Israel one hour before Shabbat! It is a shame that Swiss pilots strike, while in Africa people starving.
Morning	Day	Sunset	Night, St. Lucas, Isar waterfalls
View on river Isar at night near island Prater	According to my guide in Russian Lenin lived here. There are also walking trips here to Hitler's places, but I had no time and saw only Lenin's. Other luminaries were: Tutchev,T. Mann, E. Kestner.	Non-standard memorial for some good minister Montegals in 18-19. Differs to good side from most pompous memorials	Great philosopher Schelling. Influenced at least two Russians. Tutchev, Turgenev. In Turgenev's book "Nakanune" one tries to explain Schelling, but roman cannot let it.
Landtag - local Parliament, named after Maximillian, who proposed its building. Impressive.	This is not an emanation, coming from angel on the roof, but a fountain.	Angel on the roof brings revelation of basketball rules . However people did not understand it.	View from Landtag on Maximillian str. I walked through it all.
