About the Artist
Ernst Kirchner was a pivotal figure in German Expressionism and a founding member of Die Bruecke, the avant-garde group that transformed modern art in the early 20th century. Working in Dresden and Berlin, Kirchner developed a style that emphasized raw emotion and a dynamic, contemporary visual language across painting, printmaking, and graphic design.
Kirchner's work is valued for its ability to capture the energy of modern life and the human form, making his posters and prints as compelling as his paintings. Discover more in our famous artists and classic art collections.
The Artwork
This 1910 exhibition poster reflects a period when artist collectives used bold street graphics to promote new artistic movements. In Berlin and other German cities, posters like this served as both invitations and declarations, signaling the arrival of avant-garde ideas to a broader public.
The choice of a nude figure was a deliberate break from academic tradition, embodying Expressionist ideals of personal freedom and emotional directness. As a historical artifact, the poster captures the spirit of early modern exhibitions, when print culture played a crucial role in shaping public engagement with art.
Style & Characteristics
The design features a strikingly simplified nude rendered with thick black outlines and flat areas of color. Dynamic typography frames the figure, creating a rhythmic composition that commands attention, much like a city announcement.
The palette is dominated by vivid blue, red, and pink, contrasted with yellow accents and deep black linework. This combination produces a sense of energy and immediacy, while the expressive contours and bold colors evoke the sensuous, modern qualities of Expressionist poster art. For those interested in statement pieces, this work also connects to our erotic collection.
In Interior Design
This vintage exhibition poster makes a powerful focal point in bedrooms, studios, or reading nooks, lending cultural depth and visual impact. It pairs beautifully with Bauhaus-inspired furnishings, mid-century designs, or minimalist interiors that benefit from a single bold accent.
To harmonize the space, echo the blue tones with textiles or accessories, and incorporate red and pink elements through rugs or ceramics. A simple dark frame from our frames collection highlights the poster's graphic qualities and anchors it within a gallery wall arrangement.
