This show presents Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s practice from 1911-17 in the context of his dual life between bustling Berlin and the tranquil Baltic isle of Fehmarn. This period saw the painter develop a new, primal form of expression, and plunge into a psychological and physical crisis following the outbreak of World War I. kunsthaus.ch
