About
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff was a German painter and printmaker, a central figure of Expressionism and one of the four founders of the group Die Brücke. Trained initially in architecture, he soon left his studies to devote himself to the arts and, together with colleagues such as Erich Heckel and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, pursued a radical visual language that broke with academic traditions. His work was notable for compositional balance, simplified forms and a tendency to emphasize the flatness of surfaces.
He was a pioneer in the revival of woodcut as an expressive medium, producing hundreds of prints over his career and also exploring wood sculpture. Between 1907 and 1920 he developed variations ranging from angular lines and more restrained colors to later work with flat shapes and softer contours, while maintaining a lifelong commitment to landscape.
Persecuted by the Nazi regime — expelled from institutions, with works confiscated and labeled “degenerate” — part of his output was lost during the Second World War. After the conflict he took part in Germany’s artistic renewal as a professor at the Berlin art university and helped establish the Brücke Museum, leaving a lasting presence in international public collections and in the historiography of Expressionism.
