Männerporträt 1910

"Männerporträt" (1910) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a striking black and white drawing that captures the essence of the German Expressionist movement. The subject, a man's portrait in profile, is rendered with bold, angular strokes that emphasize the subject's sharp features and intense gaze. The artist's signature, "Kirchner," appears prominently in the lower right corner of the artwork, adding to its authenticity. The use of black ink on a light brown background further enhances the dramatic contrast and emotional intensity of the composition. Kirchner's powerful and expressive style, which is characteristic of his work, reflects the turbulent social and political climate of early 20th-century Germany.
