Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Wall Art

What's in the collection

Two heads, a still life and a poster. The woodcut head is pure gouged black and white; the Head of Dr Bauer gives the same treatment a sitter's name. The still life sets a jug and a bowl against colour that has nothing to do with the objects, and the Bern Kunsthalle sheet is Kirchner working as his own designer, lettering and image cut together. They anchor the German side of expressionist wall art within the wider fine art prints range.

One house style

Everything here is built from flat shapes and a knife-edge line, which makes these the most graphic prints we carry. They suit plain modern rooms and coloured walls equally, and they do not need company — one at 24\" x 36\" is a wall on its own. Black frames sharpen the woodcuts; natural oak warms the still life. For softer work from the same years, see post impressionist wall art.

Sizes, paper and framing

Every design is offered on archival matte paper in nine sizes from 8\" x 12\" to 30\" x 40\", plus A4-A1 for European frames, and on matte canvas either stretched on a wooden bar or set in a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. Printed with pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Questions about Ernst Ludwig Kirchner wall art

Are these original woodcuts?

No. They are modern reproductions printed to order, not original impressions and not licensed museum editions.

How large should a woodcut be hung?

As large as the wall allows — the cut marks are the point. The wall art size guide compares the biggest formats.
