Kirchner. Picasso

This richly illustrated catalogue is the first to illuminate the dynamic relationship and points of artistic overlap between Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Pablo Picasso. The latter was known for his diverse range of artistic forms of expression and techniques, while the former co-founded the Brücke artist group and developed his style over time, moving from Impressionism to Expressionism. Both artists considered questions of identity and the spirit of their, which serves to highlight the variation and similarity in their uses of theme, style, and expression. The volume sheds new light on two exceptional artists who, despite never having met in person, had a great deal in common, not least their use of portraits, depictions of bathers, and references to popular culture.
