The Visit – Couple and Newcomer 1922

"The Visit - Couple and Newcomer" (1922) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a painting that depicts a scene of three figures in an interior space. The style of the painting is characteristic of German Expressionism, with its bold, angular lines, and vivid colors. The painting's subject matter likely explores the themes of social interaction, isolation, and the modern experience. Kirchner's use of color and composition emphasizes the emotional weight of the moment, creating a sense of unease and tension. The viewer's eye is drawn to the central figure, who stands with her back to the viewer, seemingly frozen in time. The overall effect is one of disorientation and ambiguity.
