The artwork titled “KG Brücke” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1910. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and measures 90.3 x 60.9 cm. Classified as a poster, it embodies the distinctive characteristics of the genre.
In “KG Brücke,” the viewer is confronted with a striking and dynamic composition dominated by bold colors and strong lines, typical of Expressionist artwork. The poster features the stylized depiction of a woman rendered in a vibrant mix of red, black, and yellow hues. The figure’s exaggerated features, including her sharp eyes and angular limbs, convey a sense of emotional intensity and rawness. The background elements consist of contrasting color blocks that do not strive for realism but rather aim to evoke an emotive response. The use of unrefined, forceful strokes contributes to the intense and confrontational aura of the artwork.
