In 1910, the annual bonus was dedicated to Kirchner and the cover was made by Heckel. The year 1910 is the culmination of the collective work of the "Brücke": working together outdoors at the Moritzburg Ponds is an act of artistic liberation. In the Berlin dispute about the Secession and the New Secession, the "Brücke" artists immediately played an important role. And Kirchner was able to cut the names of 68 passive members into small plates and present them in the "Brücke" catalog of Galerie Arnold in Dresden. (Lot …) Kirchner's annual portfolio, probably compiled at the beginning of 1910, and Heckel's cover page testify to the artists’ new confidence. In terms of dynamics and novelty of motifs, the 1910 portfolio 1910 surpasses all previous ones. Here the expressionist "Brücke" style exemplifies itself at its height, on a par with the movement of the French "Fauves", whose main representative Matisse showed up at his first German solo exhibition at Paul Cassirer in Berlin in 1909 .
Two female nudes, tugging back and forth, crouch on Heckel's cover as if on a stage, the bright yellow of the paper acting as a bright spotlight on the scene. Kirchner draws the group in the three-color woodcut "Bathers Throwing with Reeds" as "savages" liberated from the constraints of civilization. Simplified with elementary expressive signs, the four figures, momentarily frozen in their pulsating dynamism, sink into the deep green of the lake and its shores surrounding them. The “Tänzerin mit gehobenem Rock" (Dancer with lifted Skirt) seems to tumble out of the picture. On the dance and cabaret stage, society is still most likely to experience those immediate and unadulterated expressive qualities that artists sought in the studio and in nature at the time. Dance and frenzy, the boldly elongated arms, the figure in striking topview, the rapid diagonal axes show the woodcut in a magnificent quality. In contrast to this fierceness, Kirchner reduces the scene to a few sketchy lines in the third sheet of the portfolio, the etching "Drei Badende am Moritzburger See" (Three Bathers at Moritzburg Pond), however, he still creates tremendous presence.
