Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) co-founded the Die Brücke group, a pioneering force in early 20th-century German expressionism. His art, marked by vivid colors and sharp lines, captured the intense emotion and urban vitality of his era. Influenced by non-Western art, he explored the human psyche in urban settings. Kirchner's innovative work left an indelible mark on modern art, although his personal struggles ultimately led to his tragic death in 1938. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of art to convey the human experience.
