Milliner with Hat 1910

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "Milliner with Hat" is a striking example of German Expressionism. Created in 1910, the woodcut depicts a woman in profile, her face and elaborate hat outlined in stark black against a vibrant yellow background. The bold lines and exaggerated features convey the emotional intensity that characterized Kirchner's work, reflecting the anxieties of early 20th-century Germany. The work is part of the Brooklyn Museum's collection in New York City.
