The scenery is breathtaking. 🍃 . . “In the eyes of many, I was only an unnecessary side-dish to Kandinsky. It is all too easily forgotten that a woman can be a creative artist with a real, original talent of her own.” Gabriele Münter . . #murnau #gabrielemünter #schlossmuseummurnau #heinrichcampendonk #blauereiter

Saiu mais um episódio do Clássicxs Sem Classe, no qual eu falo um pouco sobre Jane Austen 👑, e dou início a uma série (a perder de vista...) sobre autoras que ela leu e que a influenciaram. A primeira autora mencionada, como não poderia deixar de ser, é Frances Burney⚡ Deixarei o link na bio. Espero que gostem! . . . Episode 09 of my podcast #ClassicsWithoutClass is on, folks! If you speak Portuguese & fancy listening to me as I ramble about Jane Austen and Frances Burney, consider giving it a go! Link in bio. 🤓 . . . . . #classicxssemclasse #classicsbywomen #francesburney #fannyburney #satire #janeausten #podcast #podcastliterario #literarypodcast #autoraslidasporausten #leiamulheres #readwomen
