Munich (State Capital), Murnau (see photo) and the area of Kochel (all located in the Federal State of Bavaria) were important focal points of expressionism in Southern Germany.Franz Marc and others came to Murnau in 1908. The creative atmosphere there and the blue skies inspired all artists to a high degree.
Other focal points of expressionism in Germany were Berlin and Dresden (both being located in Eastern Germany with Berlin being the German capital). Die Brücke, another important artists association was founded in Dresden.
