The meaning of Die Brücke, when translated from German to English, is "the bridge." In art, the term refers to a group of German Expressionists who were active during the early 20th century. Members like Emil Nolde, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Fritz Bleyl and Erich Heckel bridged traditional artistic movements with the modern age through their works that featured bold colors and abstraction to convey the emotional state of subjects.
