Jan Wiegers

Het Huis van Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Davos (The House of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Davos)

Jan Wiegers an original woodcut, "Het Huis van Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Davos": This work of art is a paramount example of early twentieth century Dutch Expressionism. During the early 1920’s both Jan Wiegers and the German Expressionist master, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938), resided in Davos, Switzerland. Wiegers’s association and friendship with Kirchner inspired his art and upon his return to Holland he introduced Expressionist elements and ideas, primarily through the Groningen movement known as “De Ploeg”.

This beautifully printed impression of "The House of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Davos" is printed upon white mulberry paper and with large full margins. It is pencil signed and annotated by Jan Wiegers, “epreuve d’artiste” (artist’s proof). The large majority of Wiegers’s woodcuts, etchings and lithographs were not published in specific editions. Like Kirchner, however, Jan Wiegers printed most of his woodcuts himself and mainly in very small numbers.

Other important Expressionist members included Jan Altink, Hendrik Werkman and Johan Dijkstra.
	1920 was a pivotal year for Jan Wiegers. For reasons of respiratory health he moved to Davos, Switzerland. For similar reasons Kirchner had moved to the Davos region several years earler.

Other Expressionist artists who joined Kirchner’s circle of influence included Albert Muller, Hermann Scherer and Philip Bauknecht.
	Jan Wiegers lived and worked in Davos in 1920, 1921 and 1925. Afterwards he returned to Groningen and played a major role in the development of Dutch Expressionism, which is also called, ‘Groningen Expressionism’.
