Zwei nackte Frauen im Wald mit Katze 1921

"Zwei nackte Frauen im Wald mit Katze" (Two Naked Women in the Forest with Cat), a woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, is a striking example of the artist's bold style. Created in 1921, the work features two nude figures rendered with angular lines and simplified forms, reflecting the movement's emphasis on emotion over realism. The composition is dynamic, with the figures seemingly intertwined within a forest setting, further enhanced by the addition of a stylized cat. This woodcut, housed in the Städel Museum, embodies Kirchner's signature approach, where raw emotions and bold expressions are conveyed through stark contrasts and angular forms.
