Street in the Rain 1926

"Street in the Rain" (1926) by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) portrays a bustling city street with simplified, angular figures and stark black and white contrasts. The woodcut print captures the energy and anonymity of urban life, using bold lines and geometric forms to convey movement and atmosphere. Kirchner's work reflects his fascination with the modern city and the social and psychological anxieties of urban life.
