..the only certainty is that he [written by Kirchner himself] creates from the forms of the visible world, however close or far from them he desires … - Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

Life is unfixed when one lives in Berlin, where one has to fight for a living. It is painfully base here. I see that a fine, free culture cannot be created under these circumstances and wish to leave as soon as I have overcome this big slump.

I begin with movement.. .I believe that all human visual experiences are born from movement..

Our new little house [Kirchner moved to the Wildboden house] is a real joy to us. We shall live here comfortably and in great new order. This will really come to be a turning point of my life. Everything must be put in clear order and the little house furnished as simply and modestly as possible, while still being beautiful and intimate.
