Product information "Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: Picture 'Alpleben' (1918), framed"
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner had been living in Berlin since 1915, and one of his themes was sophisticated city life, which he was able to depict with sharp contours and a sure sense of colour in all its grotesqueness. The First World War soon put an end to all this. Drafted into military service, Kirchner experienced a mental breakdown; released from the army due to illness, he moved to Switzerland in 1917 to seek recuperation and paint again. In his second major creative phase, Kirchner became a painter of nature, celebrating the Swiss mountains in bright colours and flowing forms. Original: 1918, oil on canvas, 70 x 80 cm, centre painting of the triptych, private collection. Edition transferred to artist's canvas using the fine art giclée process and stretched on a stretcher frame. Limited edition of 980 copies, numbered, with certificate.
