“Two Railway Bridges in Dresden” is an artwork created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1909, utilizing paper as its medium. This piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is categorized under the cityscape genre.
The artwork presents a dynamic and somewhat abstract depiction of two railway bridges in Dresden. Kirchner’s characteristic Expressionist style is evident through the bold, gestural lines and the sweeping curves that dominate the composition. The bridges arch prominently across the scene, with the surrounding urban environment rendered in loose, energetic strokes. The monochromatic palette enhances the dramatic mood and encapsulates the essence of the bustling city landscape, reflecting the artistic experimentation typical of the Expressionist movement.
