The Red Tower in Halle 1915

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "The Red Tower in Halle" (1915) is a vibrant example of German Expressionism. The painting depicts a bustling city square with a prominent red tower, a central fountain, and a winding road. Kirchner's use of bold colors, angular lines, and distorted perspectives creates a dynamic and emotional scene, reflecting the anxieties and urban experiences of early 20th-century Germany. The painting's vibrant colors and bold composition draw the viewer into the city's energy, while the distorted figures and buildings suggest a sense of unease and alienation. This work is now part of the Folkwang Museum's collection in Essen, Germany.
