Die Brücke
Die Brücke, meaning 'The Bridge' in German, was an influential visual style that emerged in the early 20th century. Founded by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and other artists in Dresden, Germany in 1905, Die Brücke is famous for its bold and expressive style. It is regarded as one of the founding movements of German Expressionism. The artists of Die Brücke sought to break free from traditional academic art and explore themes of emotional intensity, inner turmoil, and the alienation of modern society. Their works often featured vibrant colors, distorted forms, and rough brushstrokes, conveying a raw and primal energy. Die Brücke became widely recognized for its contributions to the development of modern art in Germany and beyond.
