UPRISING OF COLOURS
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and the Legacy of »Die Brücke«
23 May – 15 November 2026
On 10 August 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff’s. To commemorate the occasion, the Buchheim Museum presents a selection from its significant holdings of works by artist’s group »Die Brücke« in dialogue with works by their immediate contemporaries and by subsequent generations who were profoundly influenced by the group. Thanks to the extensive holdings from the collection of the Buchheim couple, as well as the recent generous donations from Joseph Hierling and Paul Maria Wittmann, the museum is able to trace the development of Expressionism from its beginnings well into the second half of the 20th century, thereby vividly demonstrating the enduring impact of this epoch-making artistic awakening. Alongside paintings and works on paper by the »Die Brücke« artists Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Mueller, Emil Nolde, and Max Pechstein, the exhibition also features works by Walter Becker, Karl Blocherer, Eva Böddinghaus, Ludwig Bock, Grete Csaki-Copony, Béla Czóbel, Conrad Felixmüller, Max Kaus, Ewald Mataré, Eugen Spiro and Karoline Wittmann, among others. What unites them all is the freely developed use of colour as a central artistic means of artistic expression. Increasingly liberated from traditional ascription of meaning and from the postulate of a mimetic art, colour served primarily to convey inner sensation, states of being and emotions.
