After that she studied at Phalanx School which was founded by Wassily Kandinsky. They became lovers traveled and painted together for years but their relationship ended because of Kandinsky marrying another women.

She is most well known for her landscapes, many of which were painted in Murnau. Her composition and forms are very flat and the colors are muted. In the early 1900s her style began to change as a result of the influence of Matisse and Fauvism, Gauguin and van Gogh. Her paintings became more representative. Color played a large role in her work for example she used a number of blues, greens, yellows, and pinks that were very unusual. She also found it important that her figures were as abstract as the rest of her piece. Even though her palette was very bright, there seems to be no happiness.
