Hilmar Friedrich Wilhelm Bleyl, known as
Fritz Bleyl (8 October 1880 – 19 August 1966), 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.
