Die Brücke was a group of artists initially
collaborating in Dresden, Germany.
Erich Heckel was one of the first members, and Emil Nolde joined the
group in 1905 (Heckel’s Glassy Day
and Nolde’s The Prophet above.) Sharing similar philosophies on art and
the fundamental compulsion to manipulate matter, Die Brücke sought to rekindle
the simplicity and direct nature of “primitive” works of art.
“Primitive people begin making things with their fingers,
with material in their hands.
Their work expresses the pleasure of making. What we enjoy, probably, is the intense and often grotesque
expression of energy, of life.” (Emil Nolde, Jahre der Kämpfe)
