Nel frattempo, nella vita di Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Tutta la vita1907–1911
Summers at the Moritzburg lakes and on Fehmarn
From 1907 to 1911 Kirchner spent the summers with other Brücke members at the Moritzburg lakes and on the island of Fehmarn, to which he returned until 1914; in these years his work featured the female nude in natural settings.
October 1911
Moves to Berlin
In October 1911 Kirchner moved to Berlin; new themes entered his painting — life in the big city, its streets and architecture, the human types characteristic of the capital.
October 1911
Meets Erna Schilling
In the same month Kirchner met Erna Schilling, who later became his common-law wife.
1911–1912
The MIUM Institute with Pechstein
In 1911 in Berlin Kirchner and Max Pechstein founded a private painting school, the MIUM Institute (“Moderner Unterricht im Malen,” modern teaching of painting); it was not a success and closed the next year, the year Kirchner’s lifelong relationship with the dancer Erna Schilling began.
