Kirchner, Raphael
Written by admin on 23 August, 2009 – 12:00 pm -Raphael Kirchner (1876-1917) was an Austrian illustrator whose erotic 'pin up' sketches proved popular during WWI on both sides of the trenches.
Born in Vienna in 1876, Kirchner attended the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste in the city. At the turn of the century he moved to Paris where he remained until the outbreak of war in August 1914. At this point Kirchner moved to the United States.
Kirchner produced in excess of a thousand postcards during his short life. His "Geisha" series was reprinted four times resulting in a total of 40,000 copies, making it his most popular.
Although he was responsible for a wide variety of postcards he was chiefly renowned during the war for his erotic illustrations, probable forerunner to the later phenomenon of 'pin up' girls. Raphael Kirchner died aged just 41 on 2 August 1917 in New York.
