Vernissage: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Zwischen Malerei und Fotografie

On Sunday, June 15, we will celebrate the opening of our new exhibition "Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: Between Painting and Photography". The exhibition delves into the unique interplay between painting and photography in the painter's oeuvre. The exhibition showcases Kirchner's innovative use of photography – not necessarily as an independent medium of art production but as a tool preceding his paintings, significantly shaping his motifs, painting style, and compositions. By presenting a comprehensive overview of Kirchner's photographic work alongside the painting collection of the Kirchner Museum Davos, the exhibition aims to shed light on Kirchner's contribution to the osmotic connection between these two media and highlight how photography, in the hands of a masterful painter, became an integral tool. Free entrance. Speakers: Andreas Reber, Chairman Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Foundation Davos Katharina Beisiegel, Director Kirchner Museum Davos After the Vernissage all guests are cordially invited to an Aperitif.
