Erich Heckel Erich Heckel - Biography
The world-famous painter and graphic artist Erich Heckel counts among the founding members of the artist group "Die Brücke" [The Bridge] and is regarded one of the luminaries of Expressionism. His sensitive, contemplative and gentle nature, which becomes particularly obvious in the renowned woodcut "Madonna von Ostende", earned him a reputation as the "lyricist" and "romanticist" among the German Expressionist.
