K. studied architecture starting in 1901, first in Dresden and then in Munich, though he never practiced the profession. In 1905, he founded the groundbreaking artists’ collective 'Brücke' in Dresden together with Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Erich Heckel, and Fritz Bleyl. He lived in Berlin and on Fehmarn, though success did not come immediately. After serving in the war, he moved to Davos in 1917, where he took his own life in 1938. Though difficult to get along with, the innovative K. ranks among the most significant artists of the 20th century due to his use of color and his engagement with non-European art.
