Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880 – 1938) stands as one of the most significant artistic figures of the 20th century, with numerous works achieving iconic status within the realm of Expressionism. Navigating a tumultuous journey between self-doubt and egotism, Kirchner crafted an unparalleled and multifaceted oeuvre, possessing a remarkable ability to capture the prevailing trends and imbalances of his era. Serving as the driving force behind and the most radical member of the artist collective "Die Brücke," Kirchner embarked on a promising career that reached a significant milestone in the expressive works of his Berlin years. Fueled by an ecstatic creative impulse, Kirchner attributed this surge of artistic energy to one of the "loneliest times of my life, in which an agonizing restlessness constantly drove me out by night and day." Despite finding a new home in Davos in 1917, Kirchner's life remained characterized by tension and periods of mental instability, interspersed with unbroken creative vitality. Keen to ensure the proper reception of his works, Kirchner invented the art critic Louis de Marsalle and authored reviews of his own creations under this pseudonym. Presented by Thorsten Sadowsky, the author of this volume, Kirchner's colorful and captivating artistic personality is explored through examples of his works and the various stages of his life in a knowledgeable and lucid manner.
