Frauenkirch c. 1924

"Frauenkirch" is a 1924 ink drawing by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Characterized by bold lines and stark contrasts, the artwork depicts a mountainous landscape with a village nestled within. Kirchner, known for his powerful and emotionally charged depictions of nature and urban life, used simplified forms and dynamic composition to express the raw energy of the scene. The drawing, now part of the Städel Museum collection, is a testament to Kirchner's artistic prowess and the emotional intensity of Expressionist art.
