Resumen de At the Intersection: Kirchner, Kubista, and "Modern Morality," 1911-14
In Czech Cubism, exemplified by Bohumil Kubišta, Brücke artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner found tools for delving into the spirit to convey the inner character of modern life. Through his selective adaptation of Cubist form and his awareness of Kubišta’s ideas on modern morality governed by social relationships, Kirchner refined a personal style that reached its apogee in his Berlin street scenes. These artists’ writings and visual works offer a case study of avant-garde artistic exchange that deepens our understanding of style as an issue central to the international dialogue in the visual arts of early-twentieth-century Central Europe.
