In 1908, Max Pechstein was the first Die Brücke artist to leave for Berlin. The Expressionist painter often spent summers in the fishing village of Nida on the Baltic Sea in present-day Lithuania. He was inspired by the local landscape and inhabitants. Pechstein portrayed eleven local fishermen and depicted their weathered faces in coarse, powerful woodcuts, such as Fischerkopf IX.
