- Created in Switzerland, Kirchner's adopted home and creative refuge since 1917. - A playfully light scene on Lake Zurich, captured with great graphic finesse. - Kirchner is the great draughtsman of the “Brücke” artists: his works are translations of the spontaneous, immediate and emotional experience of reality.
We are grateful to Prof. Dr. Dr. Gerd Presler for his kind expert advice.
