Between 1911 and 1913, when the members of Brücke had already moved to Berlin, subjects inspired by the large city, like urban views, street scenes, images of bars, brothels etc., were gradually included in their oeuvre. The perception and representation of these new topics display a new expressive tension and create uneasy and irritating visions of modern reality. The rebel look shows an useless estrangement of life in these new subjects.
