Längmatte bei Monduntergang 1919

"Längmatte bei Monduntergang" (1919) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a bold woodcut depicting a mountain landscape at dusk. The artist uses a vibrant color palette and a simplified, almost abstract style characteristic of the German Expressionist movement. The jagged peaks of the mountains, rendered in shades of blue and black, dominate the composition, while a crescent moon hangs in a sky filled with thick, red clouds. The foreground features a small cabin and a few trees, adding a sense of scale to the vast landscape. Kirchner's work often explores themes of isolation and the power of nature, making this piece a compelling example of his distinctive style.
