Dodo with a Japanese Umbrella 1909

"Dodo with a Japanese Umbrella" is a woodcut by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a German Expressionist painter and printmaker, dating back to 1909. The artwork features a woman holding an umbrella with bold, exaggerated lines and vibrant colors. Kirchner's use of color and linework was characteristic of his style, which was deeply influenced by the expressive nature of Japanese woodcuts and the emotional turmoil of the modern world. The artwork, with its unique subject and vivid imagery, reflects Kirchner's artistic exploration of the complexities of urban life and personal identity in the early 20th century.
