Kirchner. Picasso

From the vibrant life of the big city to the intimacy of the studio and the stillness of the mountains: At the beginning of the 20th century, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Pablo Picasso bore witness to a new era, with their works speaking of change, crisis and passion. The exhibition “Kirchner. Picasso” at the LWL-Museum of Art and Culture in Münster is the first to explore these two singular artists and their surprising parallels in such depth. Though they never met in person, their pictorial worlds and styles converged. Beginning in September, 100 works from major European museums will highlight the similarities and contrasts between two of the most important modernist artists.
