Straßenszene mit Hündchen – Die Vorübergehenden 1914

"Straßenszene mit Hündchen – Die Vorübergehenden" is a 1914 etching by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The artwork captures the dynamic energy of urban life in a simplified and gestural style. Kirchner’s distinctive use of angular lines and elongated figures conveys the movement of pedestrians and the urban environment. The print's subject matter is a street scene, but the figures are abstracted and flattened, giving the image a sense of immediacy and intensity. This etching is representative of Kirchner's early work, which focused on themes of modern life, urban alienation, and the anxieties of the modern world.
