The very choice of wood as a grown material was a small revolution at the beginning of the 20th century. Exactly what earlier generations of artists had cut to size, polished smooth, or painted over appealed to the Brücke artists: grain, cracks, unevenness, even the irregularly grown form. All the randomness of nature was now incorporated into the design. It became an artistic program.
