Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Prints – Figures & Alpine Landscapes
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner prints bring intense colour and angular forms to portraits, bathers, performers and mountain landscapes. The collection moves between enclosed rooms, outdoor figures and Alpine settings, offering several routes through his work. Browse unframed prints, framed prints and canvas panels, with further artists in our Expressionist collection.
The figure and the force of colour
Woman in a Green Jacket sets the sitter’s dark green clothing against pink, patterned surroundings. Sharp changes of direction in the face and pose make the image feel tense and immediate. Other figure works include dancers, acrobats and people sharing an interior, each shaped by a similarly active treatment of line.
Bathers beside the water
Girls Bathing in the Lake, Moritzburg uses strong yellows, greens and blues to connect bodies with water and the surrounding landscape. The figures are part of the colour structure of the whole scene. Browse nude and bather prints for further treatments of this subject.
Mountains beyond the city
Amselfluh turns the mountain slopes into broad, curving areas of pink, violet and blue. Other Alpine subjects introduce villages, cattle and high ground under changing light. These works show how the same expressive handling can transform a landscape as well as a figure. Continue through landscape art.
