Liegender Rückenakt. 1906.
Woodcut.
Gercken A-31 I (of II). Dube H 61. Monogrammd in printing block. From an edition of six known copies. On wove paper. 4.5 x 7.5 cm (1.7 x 2.9 in). Sheet: 13 x 10,7 cm (5,1 x 4,2 in).
The first state intended to be used as vignette for the unpublished catalog for the exhibition at the lamp factory Karl-Max-Seifert in Dresden-Löbtau (1906).
The motif was published, among others, as vignette (2nd state) in Georg Heym's important poetry book "Umbrae Vitae" in 1924.
• Three of the six known copies of this rare woodcut are museum-owned: Städel Museum, Frankfurt a. Main, Brücke-Museum Berlin, Kirchner Museum, Davos.
• The following year Kirchner used the motif for the painting "Liegendes Mädchen" (Gordon 32).
• In terms of form, the depiction composed of white lines still shows the impact of Félix Vallotton (1865–1925), whom the "Brücke" artists highly valued.
