Cows at Sunset 1919

"Cows at Sunset," painted in 1919 by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, depicts a scene of cows in a field at sunset. The work is characterized by bold, angular lines and vibrant colors, typical of Kirchner's style, and showcases the artist's interest in capturing the raw emotion of a natural scene. The cows, rendered in shades of blue and brown, appear almost abstract, with their forms simplified and distorted, contributing to the sense of dynamism and energy in the artwork. The painting is a testament to Kirchner's ability to convey the powerful and primal forces of nature through his unique artistic vision.
