Dr. Hans Bütow 1925

"Dr. Hans Bütow" is a 1925 lithograph by German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The portrait, rendered in a stark, expressive style, captures the subject's intense gaze. Kirchner's signature use of bold lines and hatched shading gives the artwork a raw, emotional intensity, characteristic of his Expressionist style. The background of the work is suggested through a series of vertical lines, creating a sense of depth and visual interest. This work is a testament to Kirchner's mastery of portraiture and the power of line to convey emotion.
