The Move 1915

"The Move" is a 1915 ink drawing by the German Expressionist artist Ludwig Meidner, known for his dramatic, emotionally charged depictions of urban life. The work features a street scene with figures in sharp, angular forms, a horse-drawn carriage and a sense of chaos and movement. Meidner's characteristically bold lines and dark shading create a sense of unease and foreboding, reflecting the anxieties of the pre-World War I era. This drawing showcases Meidner’s unique style and his artistic response to the turbulent times.
