Poster for Die Brücke

Texto del museo

Fränzi Liegend (about twelve years old when this print was made) and her older sister Marcella were orphans whom Heckel and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner "adopted" as favored models around 1909 in Dresden. Heckel used a single wood block to create this two-color print: the block was cut apart in jigsaw fashion, the pieces inked separately and reassembled, and then printed all at once.
