Berge (Original Title) 1919

"Berge" (Mountains) is a 1919 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The work depicts a stylized mountain range, rendered in bold, angular strokes and vibrant colors. The jagged peaks and swirling clouds suggest a dynamic and almost abstract landscape. Kirchner's use of color is expressive, with deep blues, purples, and greens contrasting against the bright yellow background. "Berge" exemplifies Kirchner's exploration of subjective experience and the power of nature, a recurring theme in his work. The print is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
