archer 1935

"Archer" (1935) by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner depicts a scene of three figures engaged in archery. The figures are rendered with angular, elongated forms and bold outlines, characteristic of Kirchner's style. The vibrant colors, particularly the contrasting greens and blues, create a sense of movement and energy. The landscape background, with its simplified forms, adds to the overall abstract and symbolic feel of the work. Kirchner's use of bold colors and expressive lines reflects the emotional intensity and the rejection of traditional artistic conventions common to the Expressionist movement.
