Shortly after the first group exhibition of the "Brücke" at Karl Max Seifert's lamp factory on Gröbelstaße in Dresden-Löbtau, the "Brücke" artists had another opportunity to design the walls of the showrooms. This time with woodcuts by the "Brücke" artists and invited guests: Wassily Kandinsky, Wilhelm Laage, Hans Neumann, Gudmund H. P. Hentze, Axel Gallen-Kallela and Kristian Kogstad-Rasmussen. Max Pechstein designed an invitation card with reference to the expected genre on display, but without naming, for example, the place of the exhibition. One can assume that this was just an initial idea that was not pursued any further. The motif shows a bearded head with halo on palette, referring to the St. Luke's Guild. St. Luke, who according to legend was the first to portray Mary with the Child, was chosen as the patron saint of painters around 800 years ago. In 1809, in Vienna and later in Rome, the Lukasbund was formed by German artists who, as "Nazarenes", represented a religious-romantic art movement in the 19th century. With this motif Pechstein made reference to artist alliances and reflects the idea of communality that the artists of the "Brücke" group also stood for. [MvL]
