"If one truly wishes to understand Kirchner and to gain insight into the creative process that coursed through him, then one must turn to his sketchbooks. They are the birthplace of his visual language. Here one encounters those marks, ciphers, and hieroglyphs that belong solely to him. Among them, above all: Kirchner was fascinated throughout his life by the movement of the human body in dance. And nowhere did he depict this phenomenon more intensely, densely, and dynamically than in his sketchbook—that solitary space that belonged solely to him.
Verso: At the Theater (At the Café). Two ladies with wide-brimmed hats against a lavish backdrop. Only here, only on this page of the sketchbook, condensed into a magnificent hieroglyph: a parrot in a cage!"
