[Talie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kirchner declared, “Germanic art is religion in the widest sense of the word; Romance [i.e. French] art is reproduction, depiction, description or paraphrasing of nature. A German paints the ‘what’, a Frenchman the ‘how’ ... There are only a very few German artists who have been pathfinders in design, since Dürer almost none.” Kirchner counted himself among the few legitimate heirs of Dürer. He had tracked down form, he said, though of course not for its own sake in the sense of French “art for art’s sake”, but, as another diary entry states, as the “expression of his dreams”, as the vehicle of something spiritual, transcendental.
کیرشنر ایگوی متورمی داشت. گروه پل که او و چند هنرمند دیگر تشکیل داده بودند در اثر خودبرتربینی‌های او از هم پاشید. تاثیراتش از هنرمندان دیگر مثل فووها و نبی‌ها را انکار می‌کرد.

Really funny reading accounts how self aggrandizing he was with a lot of sarcasm from the author, good artist though.
