Reclining Nude 1905

This woodcut print titled "Reclining Nude" by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1905, depicts a stylized nude figure in a simple, bold black and white composition. The figure is rendered with angular lines and flat planes, characteristic of Kirchner's Expressionist style. The use of stark contrasts and simplified forms emphasizes the emotional intensity and the artist's subjective interpretation of the subject, which is likely a woman. The print showcases Kirchner's early engagement with themes of sexuality and the human figure, characteristic of the Brücke movement with which Kirchner was associated.
