Laura Tedeschi - After Kirchner

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

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.
