Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
1880 - 1938
Flussdampfer. 1910.
Pastel and chalk.
With the estate stamp of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Lugt 1570 b) and the hand-written registration number “FS Dre/Ab 16” on the reverse. On light cardboard. 34.4 x 43.1 cm (13.5 x 16.9 in), the full sheet. [CH].
• A richly colored, detailed pastel from the Dresden “Brücke” period (1905–1911).
• An expression of the innovative and expressive “Brücke” style of Kirchner and his fellow artists: radically simplified forms, strict reduction to the outline, and powerful, high-contrast coloration.
• Among other works, the thematically closely related painting “Boats on the Elbe near Dresden” (Gordon 119, Eskenazi Museum of Art, University of Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana) was created in the same year.
The work is registered in the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive, Wichtrach, Bern.
