      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Ernst Kirchner was a German expressionist painter and printmaker and one of the founders of the artists group Die Brücke or “The Bridge.” Born in Aschaffenburg, Germany, Kirchner studied architecture in Dresden beginning in 1901. While in Dresden, he befriended three other young architecture students, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Fritz Bleyl. This young group was drawn together by their desire to become painters as well as by their dislike of modern painting. They began calling themselves Die Brücke, which described their liking of “all revolutionary and surging elements”. The group sought inspiration in such painters as Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Edvard Munch as well as the primitive arts of Africa and the Pacific Islands.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Drinker 1914-1915</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Kirchner’s own artistic development began with woodcuts he created in the years before 1900. After studying architecture, he studied painting in Munich and was influenced there by Art Nouveau styles as well as by the woodcuts of Albrecht Dürer. In Munich, Kirchner’s style of painting developed as he began using bold colors, reminiscent of Gauguin, and wild brushstrokes reminiscent of Van Gogh. His portrayal of subjects conveys an emotional intensity similar to that found in the woodcuts of Dürer and Munch.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Seated Girl 1910</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">With the onset of World War I, Kirchner entered military service, and in 1915, he suffered a nervous breakdown and physical collapse. In a self-portrait of this time he depicts himself with an amputated hand (this did not actually happen). He moved to a sanitarium near Frankfurt, where he completed five wall frescoes in 1916, but was struck by a car and severely injured. In 1918 he moved near Davos, Switzerland to convalesce, but continued to suffer from depression despite solo shows held in Munich, Hamburg, and New York.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Artillery Men 1915</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Kirchner wrote critical appraisals of his own work under his nom de critique, “L. de Marsale.”[1] He repainted earlier works, and also changed the dates on some in order to predate Fauvism, which he claimed not to be influenced by. His position in the artistic vanguard had also been threatened by the emergence of Cubism and for a time he worked in a manner derived from it. The works for which he is most noted are those prior to his war service, in particular a series of graphics and paintings depicting street life (i.e. prostitutes) in Berlin.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">His printmaking was very extensive, including 971 woodcuts, 665 etchings and 458 lithographs in the Dube Catalogue raisonné. His inclusion in Entartete Kunst, the Nazis’ 1937 exhibition of so-called “degenerate art,” along with the destruction of approximately 600 of his works, caused him further distress, exacerbated by the closeness of his Swiss home to the German border. Kirchner committed suicide in 1938 in Davos.</p>
