the new expressionist mark DIE BRÜCKE


a group of young germans people, their names are: Fritz Bleyl (1880–1966), Erich Heckel (1883–1970), Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938) and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884–1976).


they met at the Königliche Technische Hochschule (a technical university) in Dresden. they named themselves "die brücke" meaning "the bridge." they invented the printmaking technique of linocut, although they initially described them as traditional woodcuts, which they also made.


what do we have here?

1. NOT OBJECTIVE EMOTIONS, 
2. SUBJECTIVE EXTREME EXPRESSION, THROUGH
3. EXTERNAL DISTORTION & CLAUSTROPHOBIC SPACES,
