Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Art

German, 1880-1938
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (6 May 1880 – 15 June 1938) was a German expressionist painter and printmaker and one of the founders of the artists group Die Brücke or "The Bridge", a key group leading to the foundation of Expressionism in 20th-century art. He volunteered for army service in the First World War, but soon suffered a breakdown and was discharged. His work was branded as "degenerate" by the Nazis in 1933, and in 1937 more than 600 of his works were sold or destroyed.

Located in Roma, IT

Neben der Heerstrasse is an original modern rare book written by Jakob Bosshart (Zürich, 1862 - Davos, 1924) and illustrated by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (Aschaffenberg, 1880, — Davos, 1938) in 1923. Original First Edition. Published by Grethlein Verlag, Zurich. Format: In 8°. The book includes 434 pages with 23 Original Woodcuts. Mint conditions. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (born May 6, 1880, Aschaffenberg— died June 15, 1938, Davos). Kirchner was a German painter and printmaker who was one of the leaders of a group of Expressionist artists known as Die Brücke (“The Bridge”). His mature style was highly personal and notable for its psychological tension and eroticism. In 1898 Kirchner was impressed by the graphic art of the German late Gothic artists, especially Albrecht Dürer, whose influence on Kirchner was lifelong. But exposure to the Jugendstil movement and the dynamic art of the Norwegian Expressionist painter Edvard Munch led Kirchner to simplify his forms and brighten his colours—a development aided by his discovery in 1904 of African and Polynesian art...
