More about this artwork

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "Gelbhaariges Mädchen" (Yellow-Haired Girl) painted in 1919, is a compelling expressionist work that captures the raw emotion and psychological depth characteristic of Kirchner's art. This portrait features a girl with striking yellow hair, accentuated by a black headband that contrasts vividly against her pale features and the deep red background. Kirchner's use of bold lines and a limited color palette creates a powerful depiction of the subject, whose gaze appears introspective and somewhat melancholic.In this print, Kirchner utilizes woodcut techniques, a method that complements his expressionist style by adding a sense of immediacy and texture. The lines etched into the wood are visible in the print, giving a sense of movement and adding a tactile quality to the image. The swirls and patterns in the background suggest a tumultuous emotional landscape, mirroring the complex expression on the girl's face.Gelbhaariges Mädchen is not just a portrait but also a profound commentary on the human condition, reflecting the anxieties of the post-World War I era.

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.
