Colourful Dance 1933

"Colourful Dance" (1933) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner depicts three nude figures in a dynamic dance, their bodies forming angular, expressive shapes against a dark background. The artwork's vibrant color palette and bold lines are characteristic of Kirchner's Expressionist style, reflecting the energy and emotional intensity of the early 20th century. The woodcut, now housed in the Städel in Frankfurt am Main, embodies Kirchner's exploration of the human form and the raw power of movement.
