The Brücke Museum in Berlin (Germany), dedicated to the group of expressionist painters "Die Brücke" (The Bridge) from the early 1900s. In the 1960s the government of (then) Westberlin supported the constuction of a specially designed modernist building to house the collection, in the villa district Dahlem, near the forest. Off the beaten track, and worth a visit.

In that painting, ‘Storm’ (1907), you can feel the figures resisting, in a Blakean way. Pushing against the forms that threaten, together. Their will becoming a force, & that force taking form in the physical world, as barriers, shelters, torrents, winds, trees.

The craving for protection and agency that the work of the mind, will & imagination could give her. Here it is again in ‘The Red Tree’.

One of my favourite painters was at the Tate Modern’s ‘Blaue Reiter’ show, tho the she wasn’t one of the headline names. Marianne von Werefkin was Russian, via Germany and Switzerland. Her life in love, friendships, & art, was dynamic & untraditional, even chaotic.

But in all her work, you can feel the need to push against that overwhelming weight & chaos of the world, with whatever strength we have - physical, creative, psychological...
