The artists as explorers: the Expressionist artists Kirchner and Nolde delved into the study of non-Western lifestyles and seamlessly integrated them into their artistic endeavors. Between the "armchair anthropology" pursued in the museums and the "field-work anthropology" that also took place in the colonies, both artists played a significant role in constructing an (imagined) "other," presenting an alternative to the bourgeois, "civilized" society in Germany.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Emil Nolde both embarked on a journey of exploration between 1910–11, immersing themselves in the study of objects and materials in ethnographic museums. However, their interests soon expanded beyond the confines of these institutions. Nolde ventured into colonial regions, while Kirchner created "exotic" studio environments that reflected his fascination with non-Western cultures.
This publication delves into the evolution of these approaches through an intricate interplay between art, early German anthropology, and colonial enterprise within the German Empire at the dawn of the 20th century. It presents a comprehensive examination of a vast array of artistic creations, encompassing paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, posters, and documents. Additionally, the publication includes a diverse range of texts that provide a broad overview of the subject matter while also weaving a specific narrative.
The languages featured in this publication are English, Dutch, and Danish, ensuring accessibility to a wide audience interested in the exploration of artistic expression and cultural diversity.
