About Red Tree on the Beach

The artwork “Red Tree on the Beach,” created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1913, is executed in oil on canvas and measures 75 x 100 cm. This expressionist landscape piece is currently housed in a private collection. As an embodiment of the Expressionism art movement, it captures a vividly colored and emotionally charged scene.

In the artwork, a prominent red tree occupies the foreground, its branches extending dynamically across the canvas. The vibrant, unconventional color of the tree contrasts sharply with the surrounding natural elements. Nude figures can be observed in the background, interacting with the beach environment, further emphasizing the emotional and expressive qualities typical of Kirchner’s style. Varied hues of purple, blue, and green dominate the background, blending to form an evocative depiction of the beach setting. The overall composition evokes a sense of movement and immediacy, inviting the viewer into a richly textured and evocative experience.
