Fehmarnküste (Original Title) c. 1913

"Fehmarnküste" (c. 1913) is a charcoal drawing by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a prominent figure of the German Expressionist movement. The artwork depicts a landscape scene, likely on the coast of Fehmarn, Germany, with a lone figure standing in the foreground. Kirchner's distinctive style is evident in the bold lines and fragmented forms, conveying a sense of emotional intensity and subjective experience. This drawing is a powerful example of how Kirchner used expressive strokes to capture the essence of the natural world, reflecting his fascination with the raw energy of modern life.
