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.

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).
