He stared right back with...

The Crimean Reveille starts with a single, furiously impatient bugle call that gives way to the pipes and drums skirling and moaning through The Soldier's Return and other wild pipe tunes-The Green Hills of Tyrol, King George V's Army, The Highland Laddie...
...Green Pear Is a Green Pear. The first movement to make expressionism its own was formed by exuberant architectural students turned artists in Dresden in 1905 who called themselves Die Brücke (The Bridge) in the confident expectation that they would "attract all the revolutionary and surging elements." With the "audacious idea of renewing German art" the Bridge group-Ernst Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Fritz Bleyl and later Max Pechstein-set up their studio in an empty shoe store...
