Stillleben neben geschnitztem Stuhl 1909

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "Stillleben neben geschnitztem Stuhl" from 1909 exemplifies the artist's signature style, known for its bold, expressive brushstrokes and simplified forms. The work features a still life of fruit in a bowl, with a distorted, almost abstract, representation of a chair or a figure in the foreground. The use of vibrant colors, especially yellows and greens, contributes to the dynamism and energy of the composition, typical of Kirchner's work within the Expressionist movement, which sought to convey raw emotion and subjective experience in their art.
