Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Straßenszene (Passanten auf der Straße)
1928.
Ink brush and Pen and India ink drawing over pencil.
With the estate stamp of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Lugt 1570 b) and the hand-written registration number "F Da / Bb 10" on the reverse. On smooth off-white paper. 34.5 x 26.5 cm (13.5 x 10.4 in), almost the full sheet.
With a pencil sketch "Zwei Frauen mit Hut", around 1910, on the reverse. [CH].
• A densely rendered drawing showing a multi-figure composition from a fascinating perspective.
• Painted on both sides: with a much earlier pencil sketch of two women (around 1910) on the reverse.
• Inspired by a trip he made to Germany in 1926, E. L. Kirchner revisited the motif of his famous "Berlin street scenes" from 1913/14.
• At this time, Kirchner began to regard form as completely two-dimensional: Pictorial elements overlap and permeate one another, separate representational elements appear in a unified form.
• During these years, he also created similar "street scenes" in oil, among them "Straßenbild vor dem Friseurladen" (Galerie Neue Meister, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden), "Straße mit Passanten bei Nachtbeleuchtung" (Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden) and "Straßenszene" (Milwaukee Art Museum)
.
This work is documented in the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive, Wichtrach/Bern.
