Hermann Stenner (1891–1914) was a German Expressionist painter whose career was tragically cut short when he died in World War I at the age of 23. Despite his brief life, Stenner created a significant body of work that reflects the influence of modernist movements such as Expressionism and the early 20th-century avant-garde. One of his notable works is Frau in Blau mit zwei Begleitern (Woman in Blue with Two Companions), which exemplifies his vibrant use of color and dynamic composition.

This painting, created in 1913, depicts a central female figure dressed in a striking blue garment, accompanied by two other figures. The composition is characterized by bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid color palette, hallmarks of Stenner's style. The figures are rendered in a semi-abstract manner, with simplified forms and a focus on emotional expression rather than realistic detail. The central figure's blue attire contrasts sharply with the surrounding colors, drawing the viewer's attention and creating a sense of depth and focus within the composition.

Stenner's work during this period was heavily influenced by his studies under Adolf Hölzel at the Stuttgart Academy of Fine Arts. Hölzel, a pioneer of abstract art in Germany, encouraged his students to experiment with form and color, which is evident in Frau in Blau mit zwei Begleitern. The painting also reflects the broader artistic trends of the time, including the influence of the Expressionist movement and the works of artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc.

The painting is considered an important example of Stenner's mature style, showcasing his ability to blend traditional subject matter with modernist techniques. It is one of the many works that highlight his potential as an artist, which was tragically unrealized due to his untimely death. Today, Frau in Blau mit zwei Begleitern is part of the collection of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, where it is displayed alongside other works by Stenner and his contemporaries. The museum's collection provides valuable insight into the development of modern art in Germany during the early 20th century.

Hermann Stenner's legacy, though brief, continues to be celebrated for its contribution to German Expressionism and the modernist movement. His works, including Frau in Blau mit zwei Begleitern, remain a testament to his artistic vision and the innovative spirit of his time.
