In an alpine scene by this painter, red fir trees stand among blue-gray mountains beneath a pink sky. Lucas Cranach's depiction of a nude Venus with a transparent shawl inspired this artist's painting of a nude woman wearing a black hat, her pale body contrasting with the colorful background. Probably due to a tight budget, this artist of Winter Moonlit Night used both sides of 138 of his canvases, often rotating the canvas 90 degrees before painting the reverse. A mental breakdown during World War I led to a work by this artist in which he wears a dark blue uniform with red shoulder patches. In that self-portrait, this artist showed himself (*) smoking a cigarette while holding his left hand like a claw, in contrast to his severed right. This artist of Self-Portrait as a Soldier showed well-dressed men and women walking through brightly colored streets in works like Potsdamer Platz and Street, Berlin. For 10 points, name this member, along with Fritz Bleyl and Erich Heckel, of Die Brücke.
