Ernst Ludwig Kirchner through shadow, light and colors

As one of the first artist ever, produced Kirchner eloquent dialogues and oppositions between painting and printmaking as a classical art forms and photography. He photographed famous models such as his addition to his sculptures and his beautiful portraits. Kirchner staged in such a comparative look between the real 'template' and the finished image. He reveals his personal system of expressive stylization of reality. At the same time he calls just by comparison with the 'reality' the freedom of art from any traditional imperative of mimetic fidelity.
Often, Kirchner was inspired directly from photographs. He developed such as in self-portraits of shadow and light areas in the color photography alienated dissections of physiognomy. Just as he composed figure scenes - as the famous sensual depictions of the couple Hembus of 1930



In general, Kirchner developed in the paintings from the 1920s of contrasts, overexposure and transitions of light, shadow, contour and color, dissolve the image of objects. It created abstracted, flat images with enigmatic image areas and new degrees of freedom. For these image patterns Kirchner himself coined the term "new style".
















All Paintings, Photos and the one sculpture are from Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

Really enjoyable to see these images gathered and presented together.

I was just looking at some of his paintings in a book about German artists and loving them before you started posting about him, and this just makes me like him even more.

Cloudy said...

Thanks for showing, I'd never seen before some of him, and I like it too...

Best wishes

Wonderful post, great work.

Apprendista Nocchiero said...

Mi piace tantissimo il modo in cui rappresenta la realtà su tela dopo averla immortalata in foto... Rielabora l'oggetto tirandone fuori un'anima invisibile e tastabile solo con il cuore...
Semplicemente divino.

Great post. Undoubtedly find the sensuality and feelings in greater depth and beauty in the tables in the photos. It was obviously a great painter. A hug.

Brian Sylvester said...

Laura,

After your previous post, I went and did some research on Kirchner. This newest post adds another layer of depth. I absolutely love the old black and whites and the examples of his paintings. Brilliant!

Take care,
Brian

bondearte said...

Belissimo "post"
Eu achei muito interessante o processo de criação de imagens que Ernst Ludwig Kirchner fasia,
de como ele extraia suas imagens expressionistas a partir das fotos.
Congrats
Paulo

Romantik Seelchen said...

liebe Laura,
es ist auch ein bewegtes Leben neben seiner Malkunst und Fotografie die du hier zeigst, oft die unsichere Situation des Lebens, Spuren gingen voraus, die traurige Beendigung seines Lebens,
eine große Hinterlassenschaft ist geblieben...
liebe Grüße Jasmin

· It's a good job. Oppose the engraving to photography can help understanding the origins of many of the paintings that we know.

Andrew Finnie said...

Aha, what a great artist, he had an amzing eye, you know I always thought his female models were younger, I often wondered what their fathers thought they were doing... :) That sculpture is a fine work I have never seen, and the portrait next to the picture of him in the jumper, has some fine colour harmonies.

Thanks for such a good post. The German expressionists really opened our eyes.

Leovi said...

Today I want to highlight the first frame of the series, but the photo in a B / W old is beautiful, the picture exudes sensuality not only the position and the subtlety of her but also by the look of it. A hug.

Roger Gauthier said...

Thank you Laura for taking the time to gather all info for this exceptional post. I knew him rather vaguely. I now feel a bit less stupid.

Jaime Baiao said...

What a awesome brain Kirchner has!!! He is "the professor"!

Rodney van den Beemd said...

Interesting post! I really enjoy the art of the early (German) pioneers of expressionist art. Your own work reminds strongly of this, but at the same time is very modern too, it has your own touch, interpretation! How is your exhibition coming along?

And thank you for your nice comment on my recent work!

Merci pour cette rétrospective ! Très interressant d'autant plus que ces oeuvres sont des miraculées, ayant réussies à survivre au nazisme. Tes photos sont un bel hommage !
