Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938)

[LCR]

I decided to make several sets of pictures of the German expressionism.

The first story - Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the founder of one of the most significant avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century - a group of "Bridge" (Die Brücke).

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was born in Bavaria. After school, from 1901 to 1905 gg.on to deal with their parents studied architecture in Dresden, then in Munich. In 1905, Kirchner and his sokrursniki, Fritz Bliley, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Erich Hekel, founded the group "Most", which aimed to deprive the official academic style and find a new way of expression, which would become a "bridge" between past and present. Kirchner believed that art should not be imposed, the official canons, as they impede the free expression of emotions of the artist, his self-consciousness. For more spontaneity in the works he used a quick picture without amendment, bright, clean or malosmeshannye color.

In 1906, the group was composed of Emil Nolde (released in 1911) and Max Pechstein. To it was close and Kees van Dongen, who served as a connecting link between the German "bridge" and French artists.

This movement was intended to give a contemporary response to the great artist of the German Renaissance - Albrecht Durer, Matthias Grunewald - revived, in particular, the traditional technique of woodcuts. In addition to the old German masters, these artists have been heavily influenced by "primitive" art, which at this time "discovered" in Europe, as well as post-impressionism.

Manifesto Group, engraved on a tree, called for "freedom to work and in life." In 1906. In Dresden, she organized the first exhibition of the "Bridge", which dominated women nude - a favorite subject of artists. In 1911, Kirchner settled in Berlin, where, together with Max Pechstein, he founded the Institute MIYUM (MIUM), which assumed to teach art in a modern manner. But next year the institution was closed.

In 1913 the Museum Folkwang in Essen held a personal exhibition Kirchner, at which have been exposed to scenes of Berlin life - characters on the streets, in cabarets, in urban gardens ... In the same year the group "Most" was disbanded due to disagreements among its members.
