The Married Couple Müller 1919

"The Married Couple Müller" is a 1919 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The work depicts a couple, likely Kirchner and his wife, in a highly stylized and angular manner, reflecting the artistic trends of the period. The bold lines and stark contrasts of black and white create a sense of emotional intensity and inner turmoil, characteristic of Expressionist art. Kirchner's use of geometric shapes and fragmented forms emphasizes the emotional state of the subjects, capturing a moment of intimacy and perhaps vulnerability. The artwork provides a powerful and evocative glimpse into the personal world of the artist and his artistic vision.
