with what group are the german die brücke artists associated?
fauves
die brücke is sometimes compared to the roughly contemporary french group of the fauves. both movements shared interests in primitivist art and in the expressing of extreme emotion through high-keyed colors that were very often non-naturalistic. both movements employed a drawing technique that was crude, and both groups shared an antipathy to complete abstraction. the die brücke artists' emotionally agitated paintings of city streets and sexually charged events transpiring in country settings made their french counterparts, the fauves, seem tame by comparison.

die brücke
die brücke was one of two groups of german painters fundamental to expressionism, the other being der blaue reiter group ("the blue rider"), formed in munich in 1911.









































the influence of die brücke went far beyond its founding members. as a result, the style of a number of painters is associated to die brücke, even if they were not formerly part of the group. as an example, french academician and art specialist, maurice rheims mentions frédéric fiebig as the only latvian painter who was really part of die brücke expressionist movement, although he was not necessarily conscious of it.
