Kirchner called it "my best Dresden nude": the highly vertical, almost life-size portrait of his lover Doris Grosse. She is naturally and seductive simultaneously, offering her lig ht and a flawless body to the viewer. The erotically outfitted studio is a backdrop rather than a room. It serves Kirchner as a stage for this figure, whom he has characterized as somewhere between a saint and a prostitute. The relaxed posture and virginal white of her skin contrast with the aggressive red of her lips and shoes, her provocative gaze, and the presentation of her pudenda. Show more
