Characteristics
The works of the Bergense School are characterised by figurative depiction with cubist influences, an expressionist touch and in dark colours.
The artists had a preference for painting Still life and the Human figure. The movement was a first original expression of a Dutch movement later to be named Expressionism. Its name refers to the village where the painters established, as is assumed because of its special light.
