EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Schlemihls Encounter with His Shadow" we are transported into the imaginative world of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a renowned German artist. Created in 1915, this color woodcut on wove paper depicts a scene from Peter Schlemihl's wondrous story. The image showcases the protagonist, Peter Schlemihl, as he confronts his shadow. The composition is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the narrative to life. Kirchner's masterful use of lines and textures adds depth and dimension to the artwork. As we gaze at this print, we are drawn into Schlemihl's dilemma - he has lost his shadow due to a foolish bargain made with a mysterious man. This loss leads him on an extraordinary journey where he faces societal rejection and isolation. Kirchner skillfully captures the emotional turmoil experienced by Schlemihl through expressive gestures and facial expressions. We can sense his desperation as he reaches out towards his elusive shadow, symbolizing his longing for acceptance and identity. This remarkable piece was acquired by the National Gallery of Art through generous donations from Ruth and Jacob Kainen in 1999. It serves as a testament to Kirchner's artistic brilliance and offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the rich symbolism embedded within "Schlemihls Encounter with His Shadow. "
