Fritz Bleyl – Founding member of the "Brücke"
Special exhibition
until 25th of April 2010
The Brücke-Museum presents a wide overview over the oeuvre of Fritz Bleyl (1880-1966) one of the founding members of the artists' group “Brücke”. 110 works of the museum’s collection are exhibited: drawings, watercolours and graphic works, dating from 1901 to 1930. The exhibition is focussing on the fabulous sequence of nude drawings: the works are painted in less than 15 minutes without stressing details representing the artistical purpose of the artists group around 1905. Some of the selected works are exhibited for the first time.
The artists' group "Brücke" was founded by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Fritz Bleyl, Erich Heckel, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff in the city of Dresden in 1905.
A catalogue has been released on the occasion of the exhibition (available only in German)
