Kopf Jakob Bosshart 1921

"Kopf Jakob Bosshart" is a woodcut print by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Created in 1921, the artwork showcases Kirchner's signature style: bold lines, angular forms, and intense color contrasts. The portrait of Jakob Bosshart, a fellow artist, is rendered in a simplified, almost geometric manner, capturing the sitter's essence with striking intensity. This woodcut is part of the Städel Museum collection and exemplifies Kirchner's exploration of the human figure and his personal expressionism.
