The Bridge (Die Brücke)

"The Bridge" (Die Brücke) was a German art movement founded in 1905 by a group of young artists eager to break away from traditional styles. They focused on expressing raw emotion and spirituality through bold colors, simplified forms, and innovative compositions. Inspired by German expressionism, the movement emphasized personal perspective and the power of art to evoke emotional impact. Though short-lived, it significantly influenced modern art, encouraging experimentation and highlighting human experience. The group's work often reflected themes of change, youth, and social upheaval, paving the way for later avant-garde movements.
