In addition to the first printed matter "Unser Programm", the artists conceived a leaflet for which Kirchner produces three different woodcuts. Here the term "Künstlergemeinschaft“(artist community) was discarded and changed to "Künstlergruppe" (artist group). In addition, Kirchner concentrated on the design of the lettering that should become emblematic for the "Brücke" artists, framed by a ghostly-looking figure from the front (below) and from behind as well standing on its head (above). A new "brand" was created. [MvL]
