"Western Harbour in Frankfurt am Main" is a 1916 oil painting by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938). The painting captures the industrial landscape of Frankfurt with its bold, expressive brushstrokes, and simplified forms, characteristic of the Expressionist style. The cityscape, dominated by the harbor, is depicted with a sense of dynamism and energy, revealing Kirchner's fascination with the modern world and its impact on human life. The vibrant colors, especially the use of blues and reds, add to the painting's dynamism and emotional intensity.
