Three artists who stand in a singular manner for Expressionism: Edvard Munch as forerunner and pioneer, Emil Nolde and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner as expressive?superstars±? each of them groundbreaking for the artistic development in the 20th century.00They knew each other: Nolde became a member of the?Brücke± group in 1906, in which Kirchner was one of the leading minds. But after only a few months, Nolde separated from the younger artists again in 1907. In the same year he met Munch in Berlin, about whose work he had been enthusiastic before. The?Brücke± artists were also fascinated by Munch's work and they tried in vain to win the Norwegian artist for joint projects. It was not until 1912, when the end of the?Brücke± was already in sight, that Kirchner met Munch at the Sonderbund exhibition in Cologne, where they exchanged their views on the exhibition.0The personal contact between the three artists should never become closer, but they did observe each other's development from a distance? with defensive judgement like Kirchner, as with artistic appreciation like Munch.00In parallel to the large Edvard Munch exhibition at the Kunstsammlung NRW in Düsseldorf, Beck & Eggeling will present watercolours, drawings and prints by the three artists from 9 October to 21 December 2010. They reveal the perception of man as an individual, of man and woman, of togetherness and isolation and of nature, as a metaphor of vitality and expression of inner emotions.00The synopsis shows formal and content-related parallels, similarities and differences. With his work, Munch had prepared the artistic freedom that Nolde and Kirchner knew how to use independently for themselves. 00Exhibition: Beck & Eggeling International Fine Art, Düsseldorf, Germany (09.10. - 21.12.2019)
