"This publication, the most substantial on Kirchner in English for thirty years, accompanies the first major exhibition in Britain for three decades of the art of the versatile and brilliant founder of the Brucke group of Expressionist artists." "The book presents a focused display of works from the artist's most creative and innovative period, and considers how he was arguably the most responsive of all the artists of the early modern period to the underlying tension between nature and civilisation that so fascinated his generation. This preoccupation culminates in Kirchner's Berlin street scenes, in which he combines elegance with an almost tribal rawness to reveal the potential savagery of the city crowd." "Containing essays by leading Kirchner and Brucke scholars, and magnificent reproductions of these too rarely seen works, this publication reaffirms Kirchner's importance within German Expressionism and his key position within early twentieth-century art."--Jacket.
