More about this artwork

"Drei Bauern" (1922) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a compelling sketch that captures the essence and aura of rural life through the depiction of three farmers. This artwork, done in pencil, utilizes a raw, sketchy style that emphasizes motion and emotion rather than detailed accuracy, a hallmark of Kirchner's expressionistic approach. The farmers are portrayed with distinctive, angular features that reflect the ruggedness of their rural existence. Each figure is adorned with a hat, typical of the period and possibly indicative of their regional or social identity.The interaction between the figures suggests a moment of casual yet intimate exchange, possibly a discussion or a shared joke, hinting at the close-knit community ties typical in rural settings. The background, though minimal, complements the figures with strokes that suggest a rustic environment. Noticeable in the composition is a smaller figure in the background, perhaps a child, adding a layer of everyday life and continuity between generations to the scene."Drei Bauern" not only showcases Kirchner's skill with line and form but also invites viewers to ponder the social and cultural contexts of the portrayed subjects.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938) was one of the most important German Expressionist painters. He was a co-founder of Die Brücke, a group of German expressionist artists formed in Dresden in 1905. Die Brücke and Kirchner took inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh and Edvard Munch, as well as African and Oceanic art. They used woodblock printing as a medium to showcase their signature style: flat, unrealistic images with vivid colors. The recurring themes in Kirchner's artworks included exotic cultures, faraway landscapes, self-portraits, dancers and Berlin street life. His paintings and prints effectively portrayed non-European cultures despite the fact that he never traveled outside of Europe.
