Explore the oeuvre of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, one of the most important German Expressionist painters of the 20th century. Throughout his career, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner employed a highly inventive and original use of color. He favored novel applications of paint in unusual matte finishes. For Kirchner, colour was of primary importance, coupled with technique and style. He was one of the leading Expressionist painters of the time and was one of the founding members of the Brucke. In his deeply personal depictions, he focused on the places where he lived and worked and his close friends and associates. This book, accompanying a major exhibition at the Neue Galerie New York, provides a visual survey of Kirchner's oeuvre and offers an in-depth analysis of different aspects of the artist's output. Essays by leading experts examine Kirchner's approach to colour, his interest in the decorative arts, how electric light affected his treatment of colour, the impact of Nietzsche on his work, and how he was profoundly changed by World War I. This book includes illustrations of nearly 40 paintings, 30 prints, as well as drawings, sketchbooks, photographs, and decorative work. AUTHORS: Jill LLoyd is an independent art historian who has curated exhibitions for leading international museums including Tate, Royal Academy London, and the National Gallery in Washington. She has written extensively on Expressionist and contemporary artists. Janis Staggs is Director of Curatorial and Manager of Publications at the Neue Galerie New York and co-editor and contributing author of Wiener Werkstatte, 1903-1932: The Luxury of Beauty (Prestel). 80 colour and 100 b/w illustrations
