In the early 20th century, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Erich Heckel left the cities to paint and live in nature.

In their paintings, drawings, prints, and watercolors, they celebrate the landscape, life, the human body, and dynamic existence.
The exhibition explores the Brücke artists’ quest for harmony between humanity and nature. Nearly 100 years after the Brücke movement, our relationship with nature has fundamentally changed.
What can people learn from nature? How can a new relationship between nature, art, and humanity emerge?
Coinciding with the exhibition, the museum is opening the artistic nature trail “Outside…Under the Pines” in the garden, for which contemporary artists are creating new site-specific works.
