Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938)

I used to really dislike German Expressionism and found it gaudy and chaotic (possibly anxiety inducing), but in a displeasing way. I've since come to revisit that opinion and find myself getting lost in the colours, the otherworldly mask-like faces that render his figures almost demonic, and the bulges and surges of city and land scapes depicted almost as haunted children's book illustrations (cursed Dr Seuss?) through unusual camera lenses.
