KIRCHNER, Ernst Ludwig: Franzi vor geschnitztem Stuhl

🖼 Franzi vor geschnitztem Stuhl, 1910
Oil on canvas
71 × 49.5 cm
Madrid, Spain

Vivid brushstrokes and clashing colors depict a young girl seated before an ornately carved chair, her pose both candid and psychologically charged. Kirchner's expressionist distortion captures modern anxiety and psychological intensity, establishing German Expressionism's emotional rawness as a revolutionary departure from objective representation.
