BookPublisher: Hong Kong ; Koln : Taschen, 2008Description: 96 p. : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 23 cm. + pbk.ISBN: 9783822854747 .Subject(s): Brücke (Artists\' group) | Expressionism (Art) -- GermanyDDC classification: 759.0642 Summary: In June 1905, four young architecture students in Dresden gave their eruption onto the art scene a name: Bruc̈ke (Bridge). The group were united by their protest against established and sclerotic forms of art, and by their yearning to bring art and life together. Life studies in the studio and free drawing in the open air were the starting-points of their artistic endeavour. For the Expressionist artists of the Bruc̈ke, the human being is at the centre of creation. Today, the fascination of this human image comes across more strongly than ever, both because it is authentic and also because it is able to reach out and address this existential condition of each and every beholder. -- Back cover.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Color and clash: The height of German expressionism The "Br#65533;cke" (established in Dresden in 1905) is, together with the Blauer Reiter in Munich, the most important movement in German expressionism. Meaning "bridge" in German, "Br#65533;cke" refers to Nietzsche's belief that humanity has the potential to make a bridge to a perfect future; more concretely, the movement formed a bridge between neo-romantic and expressionist painting. This book covers the work of founding members Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Fritz Bleyl, as well as works by their friends, such as Emil Nolde and Otto Mueller. Divided into four main categories (self-portraits and portraits of friends, nudes in the studio and in nature, men in the cities, and war and apocalyptic themes) this volume provides a stimulating overview of the movement.
