Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: 250 Curated PaintingsErnst Ludwig Kirchner was a German painter and one of the leading figures of early Expressionism. Born in 1880 in Aschaffenburg, he initially trained in architecture before turning to painting, where he developed a distinctive visual language shaped by both structural discipline and emotional intensity.As a founding member of Die Brücke, Kirchner sought to move beyond academic tradition toward a more direct and immediate form of expression. His work focuses on the human figure and modern life, particularly in his Berlin street scenes, where elongated forms, sharp contours, and bold colour convey the tension and vitality of the urban experience. His paintings are characterised by strong line, heightened colour, and a sense of psychological urgency. Rather than describing reality, Kirchner reshaped it, using distortion and contrast to express inner states and the pressures of modern existence. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: 250 Curated Paintings presents a comprehensive selection of his work, offering a wide and immersive view of his artistic development and his central role in German Expressionism.Part of the My Private Art Gallery series, this volume presents his paintings with careful digital restoration and a thoughtful gallery style format.
