Watercolours by Erich Heckel
17 September 2011 to 11 March 2012
About 80 watercolours by Erich Heckel from the Brücke museum’s collection are on show, painted in lyrical-delicate flow and referring to the artist’s numerous journeys to various regions of Germany and Europe throughout the years of his career.
In some cases the same motifs were realized in watercolour as well as in oil. By juxtaposing these works in the exhibition, a direct comparison becomes possible.

Woodblocks by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff
3 December 2011 to 22 April 2012
In winter 2011 the Brücke-Museum presents in a special exhibition woodblocks by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Yet in early years the artist developed an affinity to the usage of the raw material wood. A woodblock is the printing plate from which the woodcuts on paper get detached. So these plates made of wood display - more than the prints - a creative genesis and document the artist’s examination of the substance wood. The exhibition juxtaposes different woodblocks with the equivalent prints on paper.
