From the Apocalypse 1936

"From the Apocalypse" is a 1936 lithograph by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, depicting a scene of chaos and despair. The image is dominated by elongated, contorted figures, rendered in stark black and white lines, evoking a sense of urgency and anxiety. Kirchner, known for his powerful and often disturbing depictions of urban life and social alienation, creates a visually striking and emotionally charged composition, reflecting the anxieties of his time, particularly the rise of fascism in Germany. The print's dark subject matter and expressive style make it a powerful example of German Expressionism and a poignant testament to the turmoil of the era.
