They played a significant role in shaping German Expressionism in the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Brücke, woodcut was an important medium of expression. The grain, hardness, color, and unevenness of wood—the resistance and serendipity of the material—were deeply intertwined with their rough, powerful lines, forms, and compositions.
