Fritz Bleyl

Hilmar Friedrich Wilhelm Bleyl, known as Fritz Bleyl (8 October 1880, Zwickau, Kingdom of Saxony – 19 August 1966, Bad Iburg), was a German artist of the Expressionist school, and one of the four founders of artist group Die Brücke ("The Bridge"). He designed graphics for the group including, for their first show, a poster, which was banned by the police. He left the group after only two years, when he married, to look after his family, and did not exhibit publicly thereafter.
