Kopf David Müller 1919

"Kopf David Müller" is a 1919 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The work depicts a close-up portrait of David Müller, a fellow artist and friend of Kirchner's, executed in the characteristic angular, graphic style of the Expressionist movement. The use of bold lines and stark black and white contrasts conveys a sense of intensity and emotional urgency, reflecting the turbulent times following World War I. Kirchner's "Kopf David Müller" is a powerful example of Expressionist portraiture, capturing both the physical likeness and the inner turmoil of its subject.
