Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
1880 - 1938
Zwei weibliche Akte auf einem Diwan sitzend. 1908/09.
Charcoal drawing.
With the estate stamp of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Lugt 1570 b) and the hand-written registration number “K Dre/Bg 110” on the reverse. On brownish wove paper. 44.3 x 34.3 cm (17.4 x 13.5 in), nearly the full sheet.
With another delicate studio scene featuring two female nudes on the reverse. [CH].
• Intimate studio scene from the highly sought-after Dresden “Brücke” period (1905–1911).
• With just a few skillfully placed outline strokes, Kirchner captures the female bodies on paper.
• An expression of his artistic convictions: In the chronicle of the “Brücke” artists’ group, Kirchner mentions the importance of collective nude drawing and his enthusiasm for spontaneity and immediacy.
• Thus, the female nude in the studio was one of the primary motifs of E. L. Kirchner and the “Brücke” artists during these years.
• There is a strong thematic resemblance to the painting “Two Seated Nudes” (Gordon 43).
This work is registered in the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive, Wichtrach/Bern.
PROVENANCE: From the artist’s estate (Davos 1938, Kunstmuseum Basel 1946; verso with the estate stamp, numbered by hand).
