Sitzendes Mädchen Mit Hut 1904

"Sitzendes Mädchen Mit Hut" (1904) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a striking example of German Expressionism. The bold, angular lines and vivid colors, particularly in the figure's face and clothing, create a sense of emotionality and distortion. The use of thick, textured strokes and a limited color palette enhances the visual impact of the artwork. Kirchner’s bold portrayal of the seated woman, likely a Parisian streetwalker, reflects the artist's fascination with the modern city and its inhabitants, highlighting the social and psychological complexities of urban life.
