Ernst Ludwig Kirchner — Windmill | Fine Art Print

A yellow windmill with dark-striped sails stands against a sky washed in pink and magenta. Loosely brushed dark green trees and hedges surround its base, opening onto foreground fields rendered in broad strokes of green, yellow and orange. The brushwork is fast and unblended, with visible pencil-like underdrawing at the sails.Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938) was a founder of Die Brücke, the artists' group central to the birth of German Expressionism. An architecture student in Dresden, he formed the group in 1905 with Fritz Bleyl, Erich Heckel and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and they revived the woodcut alongside painting. After moving to Berlin in 1911 he painted his street scenes of the city, and following a breakdown during the First World War he settled in Davos. In 1937 the Nazis condemned his work as degenerate. His work is held by the Brücke-Museum, the Kirchner Museum Davos and the Museum of Modern Art.Printed as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
