Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
1880 - 1938
Landschaft mit Haus (Torhaus an der Hauptallee des Großen Gartens in Dresden). 1910.
Oil on canvas.
Signed in the lower right. 51 x 70.5 cm (20 x 27.7 in).
The work is mentioned in the artist's Photoalbum I (photo 191).
• Pure Expressionism: the motifs emerge from pure, high-contrast colors.
• Dresden, the birthplace of German Expressionism: in 1905, E. L. Kirchner was among the founding members of the legendary artists' group “Die Brücke” (1905–1913).
• Outstanding and consistent provenance: once part of the collection of Dr. Ludwig and Dr. Otto Binswanger, the artist’s physicians at the Bellevue Sanatorium in Kreuzlingen, and their descendants.
• With bold brushstrokes and radical simplification of forms, Kirchner transforms the summer colors into a masterpiece of Expressionist painting.
• Today, paintings of this quality are almost exclusively held by museums.
The work is documented at the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive, Wichtrach/Bern.
PROVENANCE: Dr. Ludwig Binswanger and Dr. Otto Binswanger, Kreuzlingen (purchased directly from the artist, after 1918, subsequently in the family’s possession).
