Coleção: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938) was a German painter and printmaker, and a founding member of the expressionist group Die Brücke (The Bridge). Known for his bold use of color, dynamic compositions, and vivid portrayals of human emotion, Kirchner's work captured the intensity and complexity of modern life. His expressive style was influenced by his desire to break away from traditional artistic conventions, creating works that often depicted urban life, the human form, and the psychological experiences of his subjects. Key works like Street, Berlin and Self-Portrait as a Soldier reveal his raw emotional depth and reaction to the turmoil of the 20th century. Kirchner’s innovative approach had a significant impact on the development of expressionism, and his art continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
