"Zwei Bauernköpfe (Gera)" is a 1920 etching by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The print depicts two male figures, their faces distorted and angular, their features exaggerated and sharp. This style, characteristic of Kirchner's work, reflects the anxieties and emotional intensity of the period. The piece, now housed in the Städel Museum, serves as a powerful testament to Kirchner's exploration of human form and the psychological complexities of the early 20th century.
