KIRCHNER, Ernst Ludwig: Nollendorfplatz

🖼 Nollendorfplatz, 1912
Oil on canvas
69 × 59.5 cm
Berlin, Germany

Vibrant angular forms and clashing colors capture Berlin's bustling Nollendorfplatz at night, with fragmented figures and distorted perspective creating urban chaos. Kirchner's expressionist style pioneered a new visual language for modern metropolitan anxiety and alienation in early 20th-century Germany.
