KIRCHNER, Ernst Ludwig: Berliner Straßenszene

🖼 Berliner Straßenszene, 1913
Oil on canvas
121 × 95 cm
New York, USA

Jagged brushstrokes and acidic colors depict anonymous figures crowding a Berlin street, their forms fragmented and psychologically tense. Kirchner's expressionist distortion captures urban alienation and modern anxiety, defining early 20th-century German avant-garde aesthetics.
