Founding member of the Die Brucke group ('The Bridge'; existed 1905-1913). The four founding members saw the print as an cheap and quick medium by which to produce affordable art. He and his circle greatly admired the work of Edvard Munch, and aimed to make a 'bridge' between traditional neo-romantic German painting and modern expressionist painting.
