Sad Female Head 1929

"Sad Female Head" (1929) by German Expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner depicts a stylized female face, with the subject's hand covering her eye. The artwork is characterized by bold, simplified forms and a limited color palette, typical of Kirchner's style, as seen in the angular, geometric background and the use of vivid pinks and blues. This work is a prime example of the artist's exploration of the human condition and his fascination with the complexities of the modern world.
