Ernst Ludwig Kirchner experimented the new way of expression of that time; the photography

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was the most important figure that changed my vision of expression.
His work has had a great influence in my life and the way I have to express my self.

Kirchner, expression of depression, the evil of life, fragility or maybe just depth, too many questions about himself, about life, art, war, persecution, the getaways, Kirchner seriously ill, Kirchner crazy, Kirchner the drug addict, Kirchner also, someone has suggested, some sneak a pedophile.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner has experimented even the photography, the new way of expression of that time, and we can see how well his photos are full and soaked in expressive power and introspective, introspection that he gave to all his subjects.

Great post. Thanks for reminding me of this genius. Kirchner led a troubled life, and ended his life with suicide in 1958.

His works are popular in U.S.museums. In 2006, his street scene "Berlin" sold for $38 million at auction.

Laura,
First, may I say how much I enjoyed your Vienna paintings, as well as, your Father's works.
I haven't written lately because you are blessed with so many people who love your work, sometimes everything that can be said has already been written-many times!
Rest assured, even though some of us don't write as often as we'd like to, we are still amazed and in awe of your dynamic explosions of color and energy.
And thanks for introducing the work of Mr. Kirchner to us. His photographs are truly great.
Sincerely,
Gary.

Diese Form der Tiefe, des starken Ausdrucks ist auch irgendwie nur durch s/w Fotos zu erreichen, denn so sind sie unverfälscht...

Sei lieb gegrüßt

Merci Laura pour la profondeur de ce post. Magnifiques clichés que je ressens très fortement.
J'ai aussi beaucoup aimé tes peintures de Vienne toujours aussi expressives et merci de montrer le travail de ton papa.
Tu es une vraie partageuse, c'est un bonheur de suivre ton blog. Bises à la française ! Olivia.

Thank you for your post...I will definitely do more research on Kirchner to learn more about him. The black and white photos are so full of life and the undercurrents of emotion!

Yes, I'm new to his work too, but all it took was that first self portrait and I'm hooked. Provocative somehow, or maybe it is evocative. Perhaps both.

Thanks for the introduction, Laura.

Laura, mille grazie for sharing this artist with us! I am always happy to learn of a master I have somehow not found before! Those self-portraits! Everything you need to know about what was inside this man, for good or evil, is written in his eyes! All the best to you, dearest.

Brian Sylvester said...

Laura,

Beautiful post and beautiful photos! Like you said, Kirchner had a lot of depth, and I can see that.

Thank you for sharing this with us!

Have a great week,
Brian

FacuZ said...

Impresionante!
Genial!
Me encanto!

Kirchner, el pintor que más me gusta, el que más me atrapa, más me transmite, ese expresionismo rabioso que me llena el corazon...

Voy a ver si me puedo traducir estas palabras, porque mi inglés es muy básico.

Te dejo un beso, enorme, desde Argentina.


Facu.

:-) grazie Michele, gli ultimi anni della sua vita Kirchner li ha vissuti a Davos, dove gli amici pittori del gruppo "Die Brücke" cercavano di aiutarlo economicamente, per mantenesri e curarsi, come vedi alcune foto sono appunto scattate a Davos e Frauenkirch, famosissimi sono anche i suoi quadri di qeull epoca trascora in svizzera, seguita purtroppo dal suo suicidio, li dipinse molte scene rurali e di pastori e montagne... tutti quadri di un espressionismo dirompente.
A Davos c'é il museo Kirchner, se ti capita di essere da quelle parti il museo merita una visita
grazieeee di essere passato di qui, ciao!

Questo post e le immagini che hai postato hanno attirato moltissimo la mia attenzione e curiosità, peccato che hai deciso di postarlo solo in tedesco, è una tua scelta definitiva? Nel traduttore del tuo blog non c'è la traduzione per l'italiano...in mancanza di ciò ho chiesto aiuto a Google...
Ciao Laura!!!

Momo Luna S!gnals said...

Laura,
i have some books of Kirchner with his art, but i never saw his photographs. And they're wonderful. Also; i never saw a photo of him, or maybe i was so consumed with his art i never saw his photo in the books. :-s It brings new dimensions in me liking his work. Thank you!
