Fundamental Painters of The Bridge (Die Brücke)

 

This is the list of the most representative painters of The Bridge. The group was created in 1905 and dissolved in 1913. It was one of the first avant-garde movements of the 20th century and a perfect example of what "Expressionism" means: the subjective representation of reality, the transmission of the artist's moods and feelings through vibrant colors, emotive distortion, and gestural brushstrokes. (The different resources of Expressionism are explained in the links below.)

This is a dynamic list since we will be adding more artists and more information to it over time.
