’... this anthology delves into fresh topics and approaches, pointing the way to further research. The book’s strength is also found in Weikop’s thoughtful introductions which effectively link the essays into a whole, while also introducing new concerns, particularly the way artists after the 1970s have alluded to the group and its art for new purposes.’ Sherwin Simmons, Burlington Magazine
'... a publication that offers a wealth of detailed research on the Brücke artists and their works... It is handsomely produced with numerous black and white illustrations... [and] provides invaluable background information about the group’s endeavours and the reception given to its art, both in Germany and elsewhere.' Averil King, Apollo
'This work offers informative essays by an international team of scholars of the early-20th-century German artistic movement... The debate over the Brücke artists and their work during the National Socialist era is particularly enlightening... Recommended.' W. S. Bradley, Choice
'... an extremely useful contribution to the literature on the Brücke.' David Ehrenpreis, James Madison University, USA
