About
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a leading figure of German Expressionism and a cofounder of the group Die Brücke, formed by architecture students in 1905. His output — more than a thousand paintings plus sculptures and prints — is notable for the geometrization of forms and the aggressive use of color, reflecting influences from Cubism, Fauvism and Post‑Impressionism. Kirchner made notable use of woodcut, a technique he applied to posters and the group’s catalogs and one that shaped the visual language of his paintings.
Over his career he explored urban scenes, portraits, nudes and circus and music‑hall subjects; works such as the Self‑Portrait as a Soldier reveal psychological torment and a reaction to the violence of the First World War. His move to Berlin in 1911 intensified his depiction of the metropolis and movement, while his voluntary exile in Switzerland from 1917 introduced calmer landscapes and more horizontal and vertical compositions.
Kirchner’s career combines technical innovation with subjective expression, leaving an important legacy for modern German art and for the history of prints and Expressionist painting.
