Dodo Head on Pillow 1906

"Dodo Head on Pillow" is a woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1906. The artwork, measuring 9.9 x 18 cm, depicts a stylized head with a prominent, expressive face. The bold, black lines and simplified forms of Kirchner's woodcut style convey a sense of emotional intensity and psychological depth, characteristic of the Expressionist movement. The stark contrast between black and white enhances the dramatic effect and reflects the artist's exploration of the human condition. This small-scale work, though limited in size, packs a powerful punch, showcasing Kirchner's mastery of the woodcut medium.
