Women and Sculptures on the Beach 1912

"Women and Sculptures on the Beach" (1912) is a pencil drawing by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The drawing showcases Kirchner's characteristic angular and simplified forms, depicting figures in a beach setting with an abstract background. The work exemplifies Kirchner's exploration of the modern city and its impact on human experience, often through a focus on urban life and the changing role of women. The simplified figures and distorted perspectives contribute to the emotional intensity and expressive nature of the artwork, typical of German Expressionism.
