Kunst Druck KirchnerKirchner Museum Davos

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s graphic work is an essential component of his artistic output and of outstanding importance to modern art. His passion for printmaking led him to produce more than two thousand printed images in woodcut, etching, and lithography over an artistic career of less than forty years. Kirchner revolutionized and expanded the use of the various techniques, printing almost all works himself and achieving unique and novel effects. Due to their direct and unmediated expressiveness as well as their innovative methods of production, his prints are to this day considered milestones in art history.
