Few images of the modern city are as iconic as the prints made by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in Berlin around 1914. He dwelled on the German capital’s notorious nightlife, both seduced by its liberatory pleasures and alienated by its transactional ethos. Prostitution and its murky social codes became the artist’s paradigmatic urban theme. Join Joseph Henry, the Florence B. Selden Fellow, Prints and Drawings, for a discussion of these famed street scenes and their ambivalent representations of sex, work, and leisure at the dawn of the First World War. Offered in conjunction with the exhibition "Munch and Kirchner: Anxiety and Expression."
