Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and his young artist friends.

The exhibition “Expressionism from the mountains – Kirchner, Bauknecht, Wiegers and the Group ‘Rot-Blau'” at the Kunstmuseum Bern in 2007 for the first time took a comprehensive look at the intense artistic and human interaction between Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) and a group of younger colleagues during his early years in Davos.
