Die Brücke, Dresden-based Expressionist group / Rebellious, anti- bourgeois attitude, sexual liberation / Advocacy of pure, unspoilt preindustrial age / Links to Germanic past and utopian future / Studio, laboratory of ideas, space for living in freedom / Jumbled, crowded interiors / Bohemia and material culture / Décor crafted by artists themselves, sculptures, rustic furniture, patterned batiks / Primitive artifacts, appealing anticlassical and antiacademic quirkiness / Art as the artist’s inner vision / Artistic insurrection; violent, impulsive style / Distortion of form / Exploration of expressive possibilities of color / Attracted the baron.
