"Dinertafel-Sanatorium" (1916) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a striking woodcut depicting a scene of unease and anxiety. The composition showcases Kirchner's signature style of Expressionism with bold lines, exaggerated figures and a heightened sense of emotion. The figures are contorted and fragmented, their faces distorted and filled with an unsettling tension. This work likely reflects the anxieties and uncertainties of World War I, a period that profoundly impacted Kirchner and his fellow artists.
