Bern with Belltower 1935

"Bern with Belltower" is an oil painting by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1935. This work depicts a bustling cityscape with a central clock tower dominating the scene. Kirchner's bold, angular lines and vibrant colors capture the energy and movement of the city. The painting's flat perspective and stylized figures are characteristic of Expressionism, a movement that aimed to convey subjective emotions rather than objective reality. The painting is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
