Max Pechstein, born in Zwickau in 1881, began his artistic training at the Dresden School of Applied Arts and continued his studies from 1901 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden. At an early age he became a member of the artist group “Die Brücke”, whose main goal was the renewal of German art. Pechstein developed a powerful expressionism characterized by the intensive, colorful treatment of figures and landscapes. He served as a soldier in the First World War, which made his imagery darker and more thoughtful. In the 1920s, Pechstein lived mainly in Berlin and Berlin-Dahlem, was internationally recognized and exhibited in many European cities. The National Socialists declared it “degenerate art” in 1937 and many works were removed from museums. After the Second World War, Pechstein took part in several important exhibitions and worked as a teacher at the university in Berlin-Weißensee. In addition to painting, his work also includes graphics and ceramics. Pechstein died in Berlin in 1955. His art is characterized by expressive coloring, dynamic compositions and a combination of personal emotionality with folk and archaic elements. Further artists and styles: Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Fauve, New Secession, Expressionism, Primitivism, woodcut, printmaking
