Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Six Dancers T-Shirt

100% Cotton T-Shirt
Six Dancers, 1917, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, German, 1880 - 1938

By painting both the skin and costume of each of these dancers the same intense mauve color, Kirchner rendered them doll-like. Their stiff, awkward poses further this impression, suggesting that Kirchner was as interested in staging the overall rhythm and harmony of the picture as in the figures themselves. Kirchner’s attention to patterning, coupled with his bright palette, parallels the art of Matisse and the Fauvists, while the distinctive brushwork and flattened space recall the work of Cézanne.
