"Umbra Vitae. Nachgelassene Gedichte. Mit 47 Orig.-holzschnitten Von Ernst Ludwig Kirchner" is a posthumous collection of poems by the German expressionist poet Georg Heym, featuring 47 original woodcuts by the prominent German expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Published in 1924, this anthology is a significant collaboration between two leading figures of the Expressionist movement in Germany, which profoundly influenced early 20th-century art and literature.

Georg Heym, known for his evocative and visionary poetry, died tragically young at the age of 24, leaving behind a body of work that was posthumously celebrated for its intense imagery and prescient themes. "Umbra Vitae," which translates to "Shadow of Life," gathers some of these unpublished poems that delve into existential despair, chaotic urban landscapes, and the human condition, themes that resonate with the angst and disillusionment of the expressionist ethos.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a founding member of the artists group Die Brücke, complemented Heym’s poignant verses with his expressive woodcuts. Kirchner's illustrations in "Umbra Vitae" are characterized by their stark lines and emotive use of contrast, which amplify the emotional intensity of Heym's poetry. This synergy between text and artwork exemplifies the expressionist collaboration and creates a compelling visual and literary experience.

The publication of "Umbra Vitae" not only contributed to the legacy of Georg Heym but also exemplified the collaborative spirit of the expressionist community in Weimar-era Germany, reflecting the turbulent social and artistic currents of the time. This work remains an important testament to the interplay between different art forms and is celebrated for its historical and aesthetic significance in the canon of German expressionism.
