...same time, Kandinsky provided invaluable guidance and support for Munter during the period of their association, and his influence in many areas undoubtedly aided her development of her own, stubbornly original style. This originality and her diversity of form also give her style the possibility of wider appeal; for example, three lineoleum prints of children's toys, called Playthings No. One, Two and Three, might capture the interest of a conservative-minded audience.
