Left Document:

Title and Date:

• Title: Falling off the Bridge
• Author: Harvard Crimson
• Date: May 16, 1973

Content:

• Exhibit Description: The document discusses an exhibit of German Expressionist prints titled "At the Fogg until June 1."
• Historical Context: German Expressionism is described as a 20th-century artistic movement that was initially diffuse. The movement's political fragmentation and emotional intensity are highlighted.
• Key Points:
  • The first two decades of the century saw self-dissolving artists aiming to renew culture.
  • By the 1930s, political developments led to the suppression of the movement by the Nazi regime.
  • Emil Nolde, a member of the Brücke group, aligned himself with the Nazis, expecting their support for his art, but was disappointed when they condemned modern art.
  • The exhibit offers insights into the Brücke group's influence, particularly how their focus on woodcuts and emotional intensity contrasts with later artists like Picasso.
• Critique: The review by Mary Scott suggests that the exhibit helps to clarify the Brücke group's unique contributions and style, noting the directness and emotional intensity of their works, and comparing their approach to composition with that of other artists like Kirchner.
