Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "Head of a Woman in Front of Sunflowers" is a striking example of German Expressionism. The bold colors and simplified forms, characteristic of the movement, create a sense of emotional intensity and a strong visual impact. The painting depicts a woman's head with bright, fragmented brushstrokes, set against a backdrop of vibrantly colored sunflowers. The juxtaposition of the human figure with the floral motif suggests a connection between the woman and the natural world. Kirchner's use of color is particularly striking, with the vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds creating a sense of warmth and energy. The overall effect is one of dynamism and emotional expression, typical of Kirchner's artistic style.
