Brücke 1912 Pechstein is a 1912 ink by Otto Mueller, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a black background with gold-yellow text and shapes. The words "Brücke 1912 Pechstein" are at the top in bold, uneven letters. Below, two simple figures lie on a curved line like a couch. One person is curled up, the other sits with their head resting on their hand. The gold color stands out sharply against the dark paper, making the shapes pop. The style looks rough and handmade, almost like a sketch turned into print. Next, look up woodcut to see how this technique works.
