[Portfolio documenting E.L. Kirchner's murals for the Sanatorium Dr. Kohnstamm], undated
Scope and Contents
This portfolio contains documentation of the murals that E.L. Kirchner painted on the walls of one of the rooms in Dr. Kohnstamm's sanatorium. Kirchner had been a patient there himself, and then contributed these expansive and completely unique works of art to the building. There are photos of the paintings, as well as a layout of how they were originally arranged on the room wall. This is particularly an important set of documents because during World War II, they were destroyed in a bombing maneuver. These are some of the last remaining photographs of these massive works by Kirchner.
