- Summary:
- "As the driving and most radical force of the 'Brücke' group of artists, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner embarked on a career that would make him one of the most important artists of German Expressionism. From the hectic metropolis of Berlin to the Swiss mountain resort of Davos, which became his new home in 1917 following a mental breakdown - in spite of the crises, Kirchner was driven to produce his incomparable oeuvre by his exuberant creativity. By reference to major works and stages of his biography, the author presents him as a complex and contradictory personality epitomising the myth of the highly sensitive artist"--Back cover.
