More about this artwork

In the striking sketch "Frau vor dem Spiegel" (Woman in front of a Mirror) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1910, we witness the artist's dynamic interpretation of form and emotion through expressive lines and bold contrasts. The sketch showcases a woman, captured in a moment of intimate self-reflection as she stands before a mirror. The use of rough, almost frenetic strokes grants a raw, emotional quality to the work, emphasizing the movement and the internal state of the subject.The composition cleverly splits between the woman's figure and the reflection space, where the contrasts and fragmented lines suggest both physical and psychological depth. The minimal use of color with splashes of red and green enhances the emotional spectrum, allowing viewers to delve into the introspective and perhaps, tumultuous moment being experienced by the woman.Kirchner's talent in conveying complex human emotions with simple yet powerful artistic gestures is evident in this work, making it a profound example of Expressionist art.

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.
