Détails du Lot
Pen and India ink over pencil. With the estate stamp of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Lugt 1570 b) and the handwritten number “F Be / Bg 20” on the reverse. On creme wove paper. 49.5 x 36.8 cm. , the full sheet.
With a pencil sketch of a reclining female figure with a seated male figure next to her on the reverse. The nude's headdress is reminiscent of a photo of an illustrious scene with Werner Gothein, Erna Schilling, Gerda Schilling (?) and Hugo Biallowons in Kirchner's studio at Körnerstraße 45 in Berlin (see Roland Scotti, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Das fotografische Werk, Berlin 2005, cat. no. 71). [CH].
- From the sought-after Berlin period of creation. - The “Brücke” artists describe the representation of the human being, and in particular the nude, as “the essence of all visual art”. - With dynamic lines, the artist conveys the immediacy of this studio scene. - With a vibrant pencil sketch of a reclining female figure wearing a hat and a seated male figure on the reverse. - The following year, he painted the very similar “Der Tanz zwischen den Frauen” (Dance between Women) (1915, Pinakothek der Moderne, Bavarian State Painting Collections, Munich). - At this time, he also created his most celebrated paintings, the Berlin “Street Scenes” (1913-1915), in which Kirchner reflects the hustle and bustle of the modern city with a similar density of figures.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Aquarelle, Pastelle, Handzeichnungen, Galerie Meta Nierendorf, Berlin, 1961/62, p. 30, cat. no. 151. Fixsterne. 100 Jahre Kunst auf Papier.
