• Dodo, Dorothee Grosse, was Kirchner"s partner and his preferred model during the Dresden period before Kirchner relocated to Berlin in 1911.
• "[..] For the sake of art, Kirchner left Doris Grosse, whom he affectionately called >Dodo<, in 1911. He never saw her again. But he could not forget her for the rest of his life.” (Gerd Presler).
• Kirchner was fascinated with her even body, her dark hair and her slightly slanted eyes, which inspired him to create outstanding paintings and drawings.
• A fascinating large-format testimony to Kirchner"s outstanding spontaneity and mastery as a draughtsman.
• Kirchner also immortalized Dodo in his famous self-portrait "Maler und Modell" (1910, Hamburger Kunsthalle) and "Dodo with a Feather Hat" (1911, Milwaukee Art Museum)
.
This work is documented in the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive, Wichtrach/Bern.
