Passion II (Leidenschaft II) 1914

"Passion II (Leidenschaft II)" (1914) is an etching by German sculptor Wilhelm Lehmbruck (1881-1919), known for his elongated, expressive figures. The print depicts a single, contorted nude figure, seemingly caught in a moment of intense emotion. Lehmbruck, a leading figure of German Expressionism, explored themes of human suffering and existential angst through his art. The work reflects the artist's deep interest in the human form and his desire to convey inner turmoil through subtle anatomical distortions. This print is considered a valuable example of Lehmbruck’s graphic work and his exploration of the human experience.
