Die Frau und die Männer 1937

"Die Frau und die Männer" (The Woman and the Men), a 1937 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, depicts a stark and unsettling scene. A nude woman stands at the center of the composition, her body rendered in simple, bold lines, as three men surround her. The men are depicted in a fragmented and distorted manner, their bodies contorted and their features exaggerated. The use of black and white creates a strong contrast and emphasizes the starkness of the subject matter. This artwork reflects Kirchner's fascination with the human figure and his exploration of themes of sexuality, alienation, and the modern world.
