More about this artwork

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a pivotal figure in the Expressionist movement, showcases his striking artistry in the "Poster of Nina Hard" from 1921. This woodcut print captures the essence of Kirchner's bold style and his ability to convey intense emotion through simplistic yet profoundly expressive forms.The image portrays a woman, presumably Nina Hard, set against a high-contrast backdrop that exemplifies the classic Expressionist use of vivid, non-naturalistic color and sharp, angular lines. The subject's face is rendered with distinct black contours outlining her features, which starkly contrast against the yellow-toned background. Her gaze, directed downward and sideways, suggests a reflective or melancholic mood. Adding to the dramatic flair, deep red and dark blue hues enhance her attire, emphasizing the stylization typical of Kirchner’s prints.This piece not only serves as a visual representation but also as a historical artifact reflecting the stylistic tendencies and innovative techniques of early 20th-century European art. "Poster of Nina Hard" stands as a testament to Kirchner's masterful woodcut technique, characterized by its raw and immediate effect, which has the power to engage and provoke the viewer's emotions.In exploring the layers and colors of this compelling image, we are given a glimpse into the transformative period of modern art, highlighting Kirchner's contribution to the Expressionism movement and his lasting impact on visual culture.

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.
