Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
1880 - 1938
Straßenszene. Um 1925/1928.
Ink pen and Watercolor over pencil.
With the estate stamp of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Lugt 1570 b) and the handwritten registration number “A Da/Bb 7” on the reverse. 28.2 x 42.6 cm (11.1 x 16.7 in), the full sheet. [CH].
• A unique form of abstraction: radical reduction, dark contours, absence of internal detail, and a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow.
• Inspired by a trip to Germany in 1926, E. L. Kirchner returneds to the motif of his world-famous “Berlin Street Scenes” from 1913–14.
• Kirchner began to view forms as entirely two-dimensional: pictorial elements overlap and interpenetrate; representationally distinct elements appear as a unified form.
• With fascinating superimpositions, the stage-like composition embodies the dense bustle of the modern metropolis.
• In 1929, Kirchner also created the closely related paintings “Street at Dusk” (Gordon 934) and “Street with Passersby under Night Lighting” (Frieder Burda Museum, Baden-Baden).
PROVENANCE: From the artist’s estate (Davos 1938, Kunstmuseum Basel 1946, with the estate stamp on the reverse).
Stuttgarter Kunstkabinett Roman Norbert Ketterer, Stuttgart (1954).
Galerie Roman Norbert Ketterer, Campione d’Italia.
