Die Brücke


When I learned about transcendentalists in high school I pictured Brook Farm to be a cross between a nudist colony in Roselawn, IN and an Amish settlement...full of hippies. Now I imagine Die Brücke as the original 20th century hipsters...who actually contributed to society. If Bleyl, Karl, Heckel, and my big old crush Kirchner were born in 1985, I think they'd exist in the form of Gaspard Augé, Cory Kennedy, Cobrasnake and Urban Outfitters.

unless i'm much mistaken, the properties of "hipsterdom" and "societally contributory" are mutually exclusive; like "hippies" and "footwear," or "my sister" and "sobriety."

wanna follow my bleeargh?
