KIRCHNER, Ernst Ludwig: Wintermondnacht

🖼 Wintermondnacht, 1919
Oil on canvas
120 × 120 cm
Davos, Switzerland

Moonlit snow transforms an urban street into haunting geometry, with angular buildings and stark shadows rendered in acidic greens and blues. Kirchner captures post-war German anxiety through Expressionist distortion, channeling psychological unease into landscape itself.
