Clavadel Mountain Seen from Frauenkirch 1933

"Clavadel Mountain Seen from Frauenkirch" is a woodcut by the German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1933. The artwork depicts a landscape with sharp, angular lines and exaggerated forms, characteristic of Kirchner's style. The mountain, the focal point of the composition, is depicted as a dominating presence, its jagged peaks and deep valleys echoing the artist's emotional intensity. The use of bold black lines and stark contrasts creates a sense of drama and unease, reflecting Kirchner's personal anxieties and the tumultuous political climate of the time. The woodcut's expressive nature and dark tonality set it apart from traditional landscape depictions, making it a powerful example of Expressionist art.
