Description
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) counts as one of the greatest German artists of the twentieth century. This book, published for Germany's first major Kirchner retrospective in thirty years, presents some of his most important works from leading museums and collections all over the world. Nudes from Kirchner's Brücke period take their place alongside impressions of the big city from his years in Berlin and works featuring motifs of the Swiss mountains from his later years in Davos. Some of the works presented are famous, while others belong to the artist's lesser-known early and late periods. The decision to include not just paintings but works on paper and sculpture as well was motivated by the desire to show the full compass of Kirchner's creativity. The essays by renowned art historians shed a new and at times critical light on the oeuvre of this artist, whose excesses in lite found their way into his art with almost unparalleled immediacy. 304 pages, 380 illustrations in color.
