KIRCHNER, Ernst Ludwig: Marzella

🖼 Marzella, 1909-10
Oil on canvas
76 × 60 cm
Stockholm, Sweden

Vibrant expressionist brushstrokes capture a woman's angular face in bold greens and oranges, her gaze direct and unsettling. Kirchner's distorted portrait exemplifies German Expressionism's psychological intensity, depicting inner emotional turmoil through color and form rather than realistic representation.
