"Five Women in the Street" (1913) by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner depicts five women in a stark, simplified style. The figures are elongated and flattened, with exaggerated features and sharp lines, highlighting the emotional intensity of the scene. The contrasting colors of black and green create a sense of unease and alienation, reflecting Kirchner's anxieties about urban life and the changing role of women in early 20th-century Germany. This artwork is a striking example of Kirchner's signature style, characterized by its bold, expressive brushstrokes and emotive subject matter. It currently resides at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.
