The Bavarian capital, where the style known as Jugendstil was developing, was one of Europe's busiest artistic centers. Kandinsky studied painting at the Munich Academy and met Alexei von Jawlensky and Paul Klee,
two of the artists with whom he would be closely associated. He also met
the painter Gabriele Miinter (see plate 14). The intense relationship between them, which lasted from 1902 until 1914, precipitated Kandinsky's
