At the beginning of the 20th century, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff left the cities to work in nature. In their paintings, drawings and prints they celebrate the landscape as the living, and the human body as dynamic being. 100 years later, these images, protected from all natural influences, are exhibited and stored. To protect the art, museums ensure that temperature and humidity remain constant. This museum preservation of the artworks at the same time leads to a large consumption of resources.
How can a new relationship between art and nature, image and reality, come about? The Brücke-Museum wants to open itself to this idea and is creating a nature trail on its forest property to explore what we can see, learn or experience artistically in nature.
