Landscape in Dresden, 1910, by Erich Heckel.Roberta Smith writes:The original bad boys of 20th-century German art got together in June of 1905. Partly inspired by the citys many bridges, they called themselves the Brücke (or bridge). They felt it implied the future and stuff left behind.Their art is the subject of Brücke: The Birth of Expressionism in Dresden and Berlin, 1905-1913 at the Neue Galerie.
