Lovers (The Hembusses) 1932

"Lovers (The Hembusses)" is a 1932 painting by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a prominent figure in the German Expressionist movement. The painting depicts a couple in an intimate embrace, their bodies contorted and elongated, characteristic of Kirchner's style. The vibrant colors and bold lines create a sense of emotion and intensity, reflecting the artist's fascination with the complexities of human relationships. The painting, currently housed in the Städel in Frankfurt am Main, is a powerful testament to Kirchner's exploration of themes of love, sexuality, and the human condition.
