The photographic work

More about the book

"Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was one of the most important artists of the Expressionist movement but he was also a skilled photographer who documented the main protagonists and the milieu of this important era. This book is the first compilation of Kirchner's photographs, taken between 1908 and 1938. They offer an insight into the beginning of the modern age and all its contradictions. The chronological sequence of images covers all the genres in which Kirchner worked as a photographer: self-portraits, individual and group portraits, nudes, scenes from his atelier, exhibition documentation, landscapes, installations and documentary photographs."--Jacket
