Drei Bauern 1922

"Drei Bauern" (Three Peasants) is a 1922 drawing by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The artwork depicts three men and a child, with an emphasis on angular lines and bold strokes. The composition is somewhat fragmented, with the figures appearing almost as silhouettes against the background. The stark lines and exaggerated features evoke a sense of alienation and emotional tension, reflecting Kirchner's interest in capturing the anxieties and complexities of modern life. Kirchner's work was often influenced by his experiences in Dresden and Berlin, where he sought to express the chaotic nature of the modern urban landscape.
