Die Brücke, founded in 1905 in Dresden, was an influential group of German Expressionist artists that included figures such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. The movement aimed to break away from traditional artistic conventions, emphasizing emotional expression and vibrant color. Die Brücke artists sought to capture the raw, unfiltered aspects of life, often addressing themes of urban alienation and social change. Their work laid the groundwork for modern art movements, including Abstract Expressionism.
Linocut printing is thought to have begun between 1905 and 1913. It was first used by the German artists Die Brucke.

Erni Karzowitsch has written: 'Die Brucke'
The German Expressionist group Die Brücke primarily used painting as their main medium, often favoring oils and watercolors. They embraced bold colors, dynamic compositions, and emotional intensity to express their inner feelings and critiques of society. Additionally, printmaking, particularly woodcuts, played a significant role in their work, allowing for greater experimentation and the dissemination of their ideas.

The artists of Die Brucke sought to build a "bridge" between Germany's past and future. Artistically they felt that the art of the current establishment was too academic and refined to retain any degree of expression, so they instead found inspiration in medieval German art and primitive African sculpture. Additionally, they would find inspiration in the emotionally expressive works of Vincent Van Gogh and Edvard Munch. Since their primary concern was the expression of deeply felt emotions, they would also transform their negative feelings about the war onto canvas. Politically some of the Die Brucke felt that Germany had declined into a state fraught with corruption and incompetence and that losing a war would cleanse their beloved country. Some died in World War l, in order to provide a way for Germany to be reborn form its own ashes. They were truly idealistic and brave.
