Ernst Ludwig Kirchner - The Artist as Photographer - Hardcover

by Thorsten Sadowsky (Editor), Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (Photographer)

Like many of his contemporaries, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) was fascinated by the possibilities of photography and exploited them in various ways. In his work there is a noticeable interdependency of photography and visual arts that allows as to speak of an almost photographic pictorial conception.

The catalog assembles a selection of about 140 photographic works and presents examples of all genres in which Kirchner worked: from nudes, studio scenes, and portraits to landscapes and object photographs. Although Kirchner did not consider himself a photographic artist, he did extensively exploit the possibilities of the medium of photography.
