Eishockeyspieler 1935

"Eishockeyspieler" (Ice Hockey Players) is a 1935 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938). The artwork depicts a dynamic scene of ice hockey players in action, their forms rendered with bold, angular lines and a sense of urgency. Kirchner's signature style, characterized by its expressive use of line and color, is evident in the woodcut, which captures the energy and intensity of the sport. The fragmented and stylized figures in the artwork reflect Kirchner's interest in the human form and his fascination with modern life. This print is a testament to Kirchner's versatility and his ability to translate the dynamism of a contemporary sport into a powerful visual composition.
