- Summary:
- "Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Fritz Bleyl, Erich Heckel, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff formed the artist group Brüke. In bright paintings with simplified forms and large fields of colour they expressed their feelings rather than an external reality. They were interested in topics like man and nature, the naked body, portraits, self-portraits, the merging of life and art, and the vibrant metropolis of Berlin. These young artists wanted to renew art and life in the German Empire and their work has inspired new generations of artists ever since. This publication also discusses how we today perceive and can take on challenging themes like inspiration from African and Oceanian colonial cultural objects and of very young female models"--From page [4] of cover.
