Explore the Description and interpretation of this artwork, Song of Songs (Egon Tschirch).
Tschirch had his most experimental phase in the early 1920s.  He developed a style characterized by the use of the primary colors red, yellow and blue. The saturated colors and the expressive, dynamic compositions of his works are present in this series of paintings.During this period Tschirch's intellectual involvement turned to the texts from the Old Testament's Song of Solomon. In his series of paintings, he depicted a man and a woman alternating in professing their love for one another, using interplay to extol their longing and fulfillment, separation and reunion. Throughout this time Tschirch created more than 50 painted sheets of interpretations. These paintings depicted themes such as the power of nature, the sensuality and the spirit in these paintings that reportedly invoke a cathartic effect. Tschirch also used light and shadow to depict warmth and coldness in nature. Tschirch selected 19 of his works on this topic and numbered them by the order in which he intended them to be arranged in expositions and when on display.
