Port Scene (Hafenbild) 1908

"Port Scene (Hafenbild)" is a woodcut created by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1908. The work, characterized by its bold, angular lines and stark black and white contrasts, depicts a harbor scene with boats and figures. Kirchner's distinctive style, evident in the simplified forms and exaggerated proportions, reflects the artistic movement's emphasis on emotional expression and subjective experience. The woodcut is a striking example of Kirchner's powerful and evocative imagery.
