About Frauenkirche

The artwork, titled “Frauenkirche,” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1908. Executed on paper, this piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and represents the cityscape genre. It is presently housed at the Brücke Museum in Berlin, Germany.

The artwork depicts a dynamic and somewhat abstract cityscape, characterized by bold, gestural strokes that suggest architectural forms and figures. The primary structural elements appear to be buildings, rendered with a sense of motion and spontaneity. Two figures in the foreground add a human element to the composition. The overall impression is one of energetic expression, typical of Kirchner’s work and the Expressionist movement. The monochromatic palette enhances the stark, evocative quality of the piece.
