Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was one of the most important painters of the Expressionist movement, but he was also a skilled photographer who documented the era's main protagonists and milieu. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: The Photographic Work, compiled and edited by the Kirchner Museum Davos, is the first collection of his photographs, taken between 1908 and 1938. Brought together, they offer insight into the beginning of the modern age and all its contradictions, not least in the wild bohemian life of the artists, set alongside scenes of the intensely archaic Alpine world. Kirchner also attempted to portray the "model society" of contemporary artists through his portraits, including subjects such as Oskar Schlemmer, Hermann Scherer and Albert Mller; authors such as Theodor W. Bluth and Alfred Dàblin; and collectors and patrons of the arts such as Carl Hagemann, Fr d ric Bauer and Botho Graef. The chronological sequence of images covers all the genres in which Kirchner worked as a photographer: self-portraits, individual and group portraits, nudes, scenes from his atelier, exhibition documentation, landscapes, installations and documentary photographs. The texts include an essay analyzing the historical and artistic context of this work and another on camera technique. The catalogue index contains formal descriptions of the photographs and their contents and an extensive register provides researchers easy access to information. A detailed biography, illustrated in part by previously unpublished photos, links the individual photographs to specific moments in Kirchner's life.

About the Author:


The painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, was born in Aschaffenburg in 1880. He studied architecture at the technical college in Dresden, and with Erich Heckel, Fritz Bleyl and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, he founded the artists' association Die Brücke (The Bridge). They developed an intense use of color and lines with which they could explore their modern themes of "sexuality, the link between man and nature and big-city life," and express their inner experiences in a very direct style. In 1915 the artist, who had been living in Berlin since 1915, "volunteered" for the army. During basic training in Halle he suffered a physical and mental breakdown. Kirchner worked through his personal crisis, giving it graphic form in some of the 20th century's major works of art. In 1917 he moved to Davos in the Swiss canton of Grisons, where he lived and worked until he took his own life on June 15, 1938.
