2008 - Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and the art of Cameroon (catalog)

As early as 1913, Kirchner had pointed out that he had found “a parallel to his own work in the Negro sculpture and the beam carvings of the South Seas in the ethnographic museum.” The catalog explores these sources of inspiration and asks what Kirchner looked for in African art and found for his own work.
