Kdo je hodil z Ernst Ludwig Kirchner?

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, nemški slikar, *6. maj 1880, Aschaffenburg, Nemčija, †15. junij 1938, Frauenkirch-Wildboden, Švica.

Študiral je arhitekturo v Dresdnu, vendar se je kmalu posvetil slikarstvu. Pri petindvajsetih letih je bil že med ustanovitelji gibanja Most, za njegove slike pa so bile značilne ostre barve in opazna deformacija oblik. V Berlinu je po letu 1911 sodeloval s skupino Modri jezdec. Leta 1915 se je preselil v Švico, kjer je delal in živel odmaknjeno in osamljeno.

Nacisti so njegovo umetnost razglasili za degenerirano, mu prepovedali obiske v Nemčiji in uničili vse njegove tamkajšnje slike. Zaradi psihičnega pritiska je 15. junija 1938 naredil samomor.

Kirhner velja za enega najpomembnejših slikarjev ekspresionizma; vanj je vnesel grafično kulturo, zasnovano na delih renesančnih mojstrov kakor tudi na japonski umetnosti, ter žive, neredko tudi sončne barve.

Erna Schilling (1884 – 2 October 1945) was a German craftswoman and artist's model.

The daughter of a proofreader for a publishing company, she was born in Berlin. When she was eighteen, she left home with her younger sister Gerda. Gerda worked as a dancer in Berlin nightclubs, where the sisters met artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1911 or 1912. Schilling became his companion and preferred model. Through him, she met other members of the group of artists known as Die Brücke. Schilling was also a model used in paintings by Erich Heckel and Otto Mueller. She made embroideries for Kirchner's studio and gave dance performances there. She later looked after the artist's business after he suffered a mental breakdown in 1915. She moved to Switzerland with him in 1921 and became a Swiss citizen in 1937. Kirchner proposed marriage to her in June 1938. She was known as Frau Erna Kirchner following his suicide later that year.

She died in Davos in 1945.

Doris Armgart "Dodo" Große (born 5 June 1884 in Dürrröhrsdorf near Dresden, Germany; date of death unknown) was a German artists' model and the lover of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938), a German expressionist painter and printmaker and one of the founders of the artists' group Die Brücke.
