Описание: Ernst Ludwig Kirchners remarkable series of paintings known as the Berlin Street Scenes is a highpoint of the artists work and a milestone of German Expressionism. Kirchner moved from Dresden to Berlin in 1911, and it was there, immersed in the vitality of a teeming city and under the looming shadow of imminent world war, that he created the Street Scenes in a burst of creative energy and ambition.

It also investigates the significance of the streetwalker as the dominant motif of this series, and provides insight on its relationship to Kirchners wider oeuvre.
