Really sorry to be picky about a splendid article but this sentence bothers me:

"You can see this clearly when you compare the work Die großen blauen Pferde('The Big Blue Horses') (1911) with Die kleinen blauen Pferde ('The Little Yellow Horses') (1912)."

Though I don't speak German I'm pretty sure that 'blauen' doesn't mean yellow. Especially as it meant 'blue' in the previous painting title.

Well spotted!

The little yellow horses in German should read 'Die kleinen gelben Pferde'

I don't speak German so I generally rely on Researchers to be correct. But the beauty of the Guide is it's ability to be updated instantly, or nearly so.
