Weiblicher Akt 1912

"Weiblicher Akt" (Female Nude) is a 1912 ink drawing by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938). The work depicts a nude female figure in a highly stylized manner, characteristic of Kirchner's exploration of the human form. The bold, expressive lines and fragmented forms reflect the artist's fascination with urban life and its impact on the individual. The drawing's raw energy and emotional intensity showcase the key elements of Expressionism, a movement that emphasized subjective experience and emotional expression over objective representation.
