This volume explores the far-reaching influence of non-western art on Kirchner\'s oeuvre and the importance of his life in Davos, Switzerland, where he found a temporary peace despite the impending threat of censorship by the Nazis.
Throughout Ernst Ludwig Kirchner\'s career, one unifying theme emerges--the search for what he saw as unadulterated and primal.
