Karl Schmidt-Rottluff: Frases em inglês

We therefore had to avoid the impression that these were our living quarters. The most necessary furniture had to disappear into the attic during the day. And so the place was decorated purely with curtains. A curtain hung in front of the entrance door, a second one in front of the oven heating.... an adjoining room was hidden by a curtain with abstractedly patterned batik.”

Of course you will know as little about Die Brücke as we knew about you before your ehibition at [Arnold’s [gallery Arnold at Dresden. Now, one of the aims of Die Brücke is to attract all the revolutionary and fermenting elements to itself – that’s the menaing of the name Brücke. The gruop also arranges several exhibitions a year, which it sends on tour in Germany...
