...light jumping off the waves. In Germany, Van Gogh and Matisse inspired so-called Expressionism, and the Merzbacher collection has 40 examples from the two groups of artists that pioneered the movement. The first, based in Dresden, called itself Die Brücke (The Bridge). The paintings of Erich Heckel, Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner and Karl Schmidt-Rottluf look like a clash of Van Gogh meeting Nietzsche: fierce color contrasts are used to depict a passionate intensity. In Heckel's Red Roofs (1909), the evening scarlet of the tiles spreads out across the flaming sky, where flicks of royal blue dance...
McGill tied the game midway through the first period on a penalty kick just seconds after Hilton's first score of the day, but then the Harvard forwards began to control the loose play and it was never close after that. Ned Childs and Blaine Heckel added tries for the winners...
Harvard scored its first try from a set scrum when Carl Esterhay passed the ball to John Weston who lofted a kick inside the Quincy zone. When the Quincy fullback tried to clear the ball, center Blayne Heckel blocked the kick, picked the ball up and raced 15 yards for the try. Harvard missed the two-point conversion...
...merely one means to an end. Though primitive objects and people appear in many of Die Brucke's works in the collection, these things are only elements of an artistic vocabulary; they are only symptoms, not causes of the artists' perception.

...vast numbers of drawings done by Die Brucke (many of which are no longer extant) attest to the desire of these artists to make the pencil a sixth sense, an uncerebrated recording of their response to what they saw. Heckel's Reclining Woman (1913) exemplifies the spontaneous quality sought after; the carpenter's pencil defines the woman's body in uncompromising, strong lines, and shades the form into three-dimensionality with vibrating squiggles that are intended to be read as trails of the artist's pencil...
