  • Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is regarded as one of the main exponents of German Expressionism. The painter was also a leading figure in the artist group Brücke, which he co-founded in 1905. In 1917 Kirchner moved to Switzerland to recuperate after suffering a nervous breakdown during his military service. In the alpine landscape around Davos he discovered new motifs for his art. Kirchner painted dramatic mountain panoramas, views of deserted countryside, and majestic peaks. His energetic application of bold colors also serves to add rhythm to the composition. Forms from the towering mountains are thus echoed in the trees while the curves of the clouds recur in the foreground alpine pastures.
