Bauerntanz in der Sennhütte 1920

"Bauerntanz in der Sennhütte" (1920) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a woodcut depicting a scene of a peasant dance in a mountain hut. The work showcases Kirchner's signature style, with angular lines and exaggerated forms conveying the dynamic energy of the figures. The artist's use of black and white creates a stark contrast that heightens the emotional intensity of the scene, characteristic of German Expressionism. This woodcut captures the spirit of traditional folk celebrations with a modernist twist, highlighting the power of human movement and communal gatherings.
