Catalogue Note
This catalogue was originally produced for the Brücke exhibition at the Fritz Gurlitt Kunstsalon in Berlin. However, after the Berlin Exhibition, Pechstein left the group. His works in the catalogue were replaced with three new woodcuts by Heckel (D. 226), Kirchner (D. 729) and Schmidt-Rottluff (S. 76).
