The only thing that is confusing for me is where the plain word "Germany" fits in to all this.
Stab in the dark - is it "Blue period"?
It's where the group was formed, in Munich, Germany. Half the group were German, half just liked the style (including Edvard Munch who's Norwegian) . Picasso had a Blue period , but this is the name of a group of artists. They're not the Impressionists, but also used vivid colours. They were named after particularly pictures painted by Franz Marc, such as this one:
He painted the soul of an animal rather than the animal. Often the animals would meld into the back ground, almost hidden. The answer is: Blue Ryder club of Expressionists. or Der Blaue Reiter (German). The Scream being their most famous picture. Franz Marc's blue horse(s) were also called sad horses. I though within the world of art, these guys were well known...we need more cartoonists on this forum.
Lady Leg should gets some points for Blue and Expressionists and Chappers got Munch.
