Die Brücke
Die Brücke (The Bridge) was a group of German expressionist artists formed at the Königliche Technische Hochschule in Dresden in 1905, after which the Brücke Museum in Berlin was named. Founded by the Jugendstil architecture students Fritz Bleyl (1880-1966), Erich Heckel (1883-1970), Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884-1976), it later included members such as Emil Nolde (1867-1956), Max Pechstein (1881-1955) and Otto Mueller (1874-1930). It influenced the evolution of modern art and expressionism. Their drawings and paintings were often crude, even primitive. There was no hint of abstractness. Frequent use was made of woodblock printing. Robert Atkins in 1992 writes: The Die Brücke artists' emotionally agitated paintings of city streets and sexually charged events transpiring in country settings make their French counterparts, the Fauves, seem tame by comparison. Kirchner's home in particular became a venue which overthrew social conventions to allow casual love-making and frequent nudity. Group life-drawing sessions took place using models from the social circle, rather than professionals, and choosing quarter-hour poses to encourage spontaneity. The group disbanded ca. 1915. Several typefaces were inspired by the primitive lettering used in the manifesto and on paintings by type designers such as Richard Kegler (P22) and David Kerkhoff. |
