Emporsteigender - Der Aufstieg. 1937.
Woodcut.
Inscribed "NL 675 II" by a hand other than that of the artist. With the estate stamp of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Lugt 1570 b) and the hand-written registration number "H Da / Bk 26 II" on the reverse". The only known copy from the second state and one of a total of two known copies. On thin mold-made paper. 50 x 36.8 cm (19.6 x 14.4 in). Sheet: 54 x 40,5 cm (21,2 x 15,9 in).
[CH].
• The artist's last woodcut.
• One of only two known copies.
• The only known copy from the second and final printing state.
• The woodcut was made in context of the planned decoration of the ballroom at the Museum Folkwang, Essen (not realized).
• Made the same year as the closely related painting "Allegory" (Gordon 1004).
• In the year of its creation, the exhibition "Degenerate Art" opened in Munich, which deeply disturbed the artist.
• The depiction of a man rising from darkness and chaos to light may visualize Kirchner's desire for a better future, which he seemed to hope for in view of the dark times
.
