Mountains (Berge) 1920

"Mountains (Berge)," a 1920 etching by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, depicts a dramatic and stylized landscape. Kirchner's signature angular lines and bold strokes create a powerful and emotive interpretation of the mountainous terrain. The use of dark and light contrasts emphasizes the depth and ruggedness of the scene, while the overall composition conveys a sense of both awe and unease. Kirchner's bold graphic style is evident in this work, reflecting his artistic sensibilities and the influence of Expressionist principles.
