## The artist

[Ernst Ludwig Kirchner](https://www.ochreeditions.com/artists/ernst-ludwig-kirchner), German, 1880–1938

Kirchner studied architecture in Dresden, where in 1905 he co-founded Die Brücke with fellow students, seeking a raw, direct art of bright, unmixed colour and angular forms. After moving to Berlin in 1911 he painted the city’s streets and nightlife with nervous intensity.
