About Two Yellow Knots with Bunch of Flowers

The artwork titled “Two Yellow Knots with Bunch of Flowers” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1914, utilizing the medium of pastel. The piece is associated with the Expressionist art movement and falls under the genre of nude painting (nu).

In the artwork, Kirchner employs vivid, contrasting colors characteristic of the Expressionist style. The composition features two nude figures rendered in yellow hues, with dark hair and minimalist facial features, positioned on either side of a vase holding a bouquet of flowers. The background showcases abstract, radial patterns in shades of blue and purple, accentuating the central figures and the floral arrangement. The use of bold, exaggerated forms and colors serves to evoke a sense of emotional intensity and raw, unfiltered reality, capturing the essence of the Expressionist movement.
