"Foyerszene" is a 1927 etching by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The artwork depicts a crowded scene in a foyer, likely a theater or concert hall. Kirchner’s signature style is evident in the simplified forms and sharp lines, with elongated figures, and an emphasis on mood and emotion. This work provides a glimpse into the vibrant social life and artistic trends of early 20th-century Germany, while also showcasing Kirchner’s mastery of graphic arts. The etching is currently housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
