Die Brücke --
The Bridge art group was a group of artists (also "KG Brücke"), which is now regarded as an important representative of Expressionism and as a pioneer of classical modernism . It was founded on June 7, 1905 in Königliche Technische Hochschule in Dresden by the four architecture students
Born in the early 1880s, these young artists refuse the world that they are offered, its doctrines, morals, and therefore its vision of Art.
At that time, Impressionism is spreading all over Europe and Germany.
Still considered as innovative and revolutionary as it refuses the codes of the Royal Academy of Painting in its infancy, impressionism now appears to the founding members of Die Brücke as a haughty pictorial movement of bourgeois attracted by classicism, money and Christian morality.
They reject the Art Nouveau or Jugendstil, and prefer the freedom of movements, nature, life and natural elements.
