Væksthus. Jena 1914

"Væksthus. Jena" is a woodcut by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1914. The artwork depicts a stylized, almost abstract, view of a greenhouse with a lone figure standing amongst the foliage. Kirchner's bold, angular lines and stark contrasts of black and white create a sense of claustrophobia and tension, characteristic of his Expressionist style. The artwork is a testament to Kirchner's fascination with the urban landscape and the complexities of modern life, and is a powerful example of the expressive potential of woodcut.
