Depicting the moving figures to express the fullness and vitality of human body and using the flat areas of unbroken and unmixed colors and simplified forms, the German painter and printmaker, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, is celebrated as one of the leaders of a group of Expressionist artist known as “Die Brücke” (The Bridge).

Famous for his highly personal style imbued with psychological tension and eroticism, the Expressionist painter was born on May 6, 1880, in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria.
