1919, Ernst Ludwig Kircher, Junkerboden [woodcut] -- Yale University Art Gallery (New Haven) (special exhibition)
From the museum label: Kirchner often printed this image of the Junkerboden, a mountainous area near Davos, double-sided, with wood-cuts on both front and back. For this colorful nighttime landscape, he used light red for the central peak and blue for the enclosing forest. Given the technical difficulty of printing color using multiple blocks, we can assume he thought the composition through carefully. "There is neither light nor shadow," as he described the early works he executed in Switzerland. "Only the harmony of colors yields results."
