The Wanderer 1922

"The Wanderer" is a woodcut print by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1922. The print depicts a solitary figure, possibly a self-portrait of the artist, walking through a mountainous landscape. Kirchner's signature style is evident in the angular lines, bold shapes, and expressive use of black and white, conveying a sense of isolation and alienation. The stark contrasts and dramatic composition, characteristic of German Expressionism, reflect the anxieties and uncertainties of the post-World War I era.
