[CH]. • A unique form of abstraction: radical reduction, dark contours, absence of internal detail, and a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow. • Inspired by a trip to Germany in 1926, E. L. Kirchner returneds to the motif of his world-famous “Berlin Street Scenes” from 1913–14. • Kirchner began to view forms as entirely two-dimensional: pictorial elements overlap and interpenetrate; representationally distinct elements appear as a unified form. • With fascinating superimpositions, the stage-like composition embodies the dense bustle of the modern metropolis. • In 1929, Kirchner also created the closely related paintings “Street at Dusk” (Gordon 934) and “Street with Passersby under Night Lighting” (Frieder Burda Museum, Baden-Baden).
