Die Brucke: • Started as a kind of newspaper publications by Kirchner, Schmidt-Rottluff and Heckel to represent a ‘bridge’ into revolution and modernity. Other artists from the movement included Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein and Otto Mueller. • They criticized social conditions and emphasized the message of a work over the formal elements. • The art was personal and individual. It was angst-ridden by hate, jealousy etc. Bright primary colours progressively darkened towards a somber palette. • They often used contrasting colours to symbolize conflicts in life. • Dark, outlines shapes were simplified and distorted and the works seemed unfinished. • Figures were angular and almost jagged. • The compositions were crowded and perspective flattened. • Brushwork was free and ‘barbaric. ’ The group was dissolved at the eve of World War I.

Der Blaue Reiter: • (1911 -1914). • This group was founded by Kandinsky and Marc (and later Macke) and also rose out from a publication of essays before the war. • Their aim was to express inner spirituality through a variety of shapes. • Themes were often lyrical, romantic, spiritual and abstract and they did not comment directly on society like Die Brucke. • They experimented with the emotional use of colour, especially bright, pure colours. Shapes were distorted to express emotion and brushwork was used to show the process in the painting. • Marc, in particular, contrasted the sordid reality of mankind with the natural beauty of the animal world and sought harmony. • Kandinsky was a Russian artist who was the founder of abstraction (works with no particular subject matter. ) He believed that art was like music evoking powerful emotions in a viewer.
