About this artwork
Painted by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1909, this oil on canvas shows two burly wrestlers locked in a tight, dangerous-looking embrace on a brightly coloured mat. Kirchner is best known for his scenes of city life, and here he uses loose brushstrokes to convey the blur of bodies in motion. It is easy to imagine yourself at the ringside, caught up in the intensity of the contest with a crowd shouting all around. The work belongs to German art of the early twentieth century.
On your wall: Its bold colour and energetic movement suit a living room, studio or study where a lively, modern piece can bring a confident focal point to the wall.

About Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a German Expressionist painter and printmaker. He was among the founders of Die Brücke, or "The Bridge", a group that helped lead the way to Expressionism in twentieth-century art. After a breakdown during the First World War he left army service. In 1937 the Nazis condemned his work as "degenerate", and over 600 pieces were sold or destroyed.
