Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "Two Girls under an Umbrella" (ASL)
Two Girls under an Umbrella dates back to early in Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s prolific career, when he was a founding member of the Expressionist group Die Brücke, or The Bridge, in Dresden in 1905. In this painting, Kirchner has depicted two nudes in a natural setting, rather than in the contrived space of an academic studio. This work is also an example of the artist’s use of bold forms and vibrant color.
