Station in Königstein 1916

"Station in Königstein" is a 1916 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The artwork features a stark black and white depiction of a train station in Königstein, Germany. Kirchner's signature style is evident in the bold, angular lines and exaggerated forms of the buildings and figures, creating a sense of unease and dynamism. The woodcut's focus on a modern urban scene, with its emphasis on architecture and transportation, is characteristic of Kirchner's artistic explorations of the changing social landscape of the early 20th century. The woodcut's dark tones and dramatic composition convey a sense of isolation and alienation, reflecting Kirchner's personal anxieties and the societal upheaval of the time.
