Drei Personen 1910

"Drei Personen" (1910) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a striking example of German Expressionism. The bold black lines and simplified forms convey a sense of raw emotion and psychological intensity. The figures, rendered in an almost distorted manner, create a feeling of unease and instability. Kirchner, known for his depictions of urban life and his fascination with the human condition, captures a moment of raw vulnerability and isolation. The composition, with its strong diagonals and gestural lines, further emphasizes the tension and energy of the scene. This ink drawing exemplifies the expressive power of the artist's signature style, making it a compelling study of human interaction and emotion.
