Alpine Huts in Fog 1920

"Alpine Huts in Fog" is a 1920 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The image depicts a simplified landscape with two figures standing in front of a hut with a pitched roof, surrounded by thick fog. The simplified forms and use of bold black lines are characteristic of Kirchner's Expressionist style, which aimed to capture the raw emotions and subjective experiences of the artist rather than objective reality. The woodcut's dramatic composition and dark tonality evoke a sense of isolation and mystery, reflecting the artist's personal struggles during a period of artistic and social upheaval.
