He volunteered for military service in the First World War, but suffered a breakdown and was eventually discharged. In 1937, his work was declared \"degenerate\" by the Nazis, and over 600 of his works were removed from German museums. He committed suicide in 1938. 'Bathing Women and Children' exemplifies Kirchner's distinctive style, characterised by bold colours and simplified forms. The composition features a group of figures, two women and two children, set within a stylised outdoor setting. The figures are rendered with angular lines and flattened planes, typical of Expressionist art. The colour palette is striking, with the figures depicted in shades of pink and yellow, contrasted against the red and blue of the background. The scene conveys a sense of spontaneity and energy, capturing a fleeting moment of leisure and interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/naakte-vrouw-nude-woman-meijer-bleekrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw (Nude Woman) - Meijer Bleekrode — Meijer Bleekrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/le-couple-au-village-gustave-de-smet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLe couple au village - Gustave de Smet — Gustave De Smet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ernst Ludwig Kirchner","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57739311186255,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57739402477903,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57739402510671,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57739402543439,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57739402576207,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bathing-Women-and-Children_Poster_CompositorV1_1779242646536.jpg?v=1779268692","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/bathing-women-and-children-ernst-ludwig-kirchner","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
