Studie zu _Müllerkopf mit Blumen_ c. 1927

"Studie zu _Müllerkopf mit Blumen_" (c. 1927) is a watercolor study by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The artwork depicts a stylized, fragmented figure, possibly a self-portrait, with bold, angular lines and vibrant color. The composition, featuring a head divided by a black line, is characteristic of Kirchner's style, reflecting his interest in exploring psychological states and inner turmoil. The inclusion of flowers suggests themes of nature, life, and possibly even a yearning for beauty amidst the harshness of modernity. This piece is housed in the Städel Museum and is a notable example of Kirchner's mature work, characterized by intense emotion and a distinct aesthetic.
