Abstract
The name of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is very seldom considered in the series of names of sculptures. However, together with names of Ernst Barlach and Wilhelm Lehmbruck, his name belongs to the numbers of the great sculptors of the first third of 20-th century. The article deals with the different periods of the masters work and demonstrate, how they reflect in sculpture: from early romantic enthusiasm for the folk art, including African art and classic expressionism to the neorealism in form of «New Objectivity»/«Neue Sachlichkeit». The author says about specificity of materials in sculpture objects of Kirchner, also their interaction with painting and about the role of plastic in art heritage of painter.
