store in the rain 1927

"Store in the Rain" is a 1927 painting by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The painting depicts a bustling city scene in a rain-soaked setting, capturing the energy and chaos of urban life. The figures are stylized, with angular features and flattened forms, characteristic of Kirchner's expressionist style. Brightly colored blocks of color define the shapes and volumes of the scene, creating a sense of depth and movement. The painting showcases Kirchner's interest in modern life, reflecting the rapid changes of the early 20th century.
