text is coming for Kirchner
Kirchner was one of the bigger artists of his day. From what I have read so far, his influence in the vibrant German circles could rival Picasso and Matisse in Paris.
KIrchner’s style is very raw. I’m not the biggest fan of most of his work, I’ll try to explain why later.
Tavern - 1909
One of my current favorite Kirchner works is ‘Tavern’ from 1909.
When I look at the work, I see what feels like a vibrant bar where elegant people are making plans. The energy on the canvas, the fast raw depictions of people feel cinematic.
