More about this artwork
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's 1938 painting "Frau mit Ziege" captivates audiences with its vivid portrayal of human connection to nature and animals. This expressionist masterpiece features a woman standing beside a goat, enveloped by a lush, abstract landscape painted with a rich palette of blues, greens, and reds. Kirchner's use of bold, distorted shapes and intense colors conveys the emotional intensity and rustic simplicity of the scene.The figures are rendered with dynamic, somewhat angular lines that suggest movement and vitality, characteristic of Kirchner’s approach to expressionism. The backdrop, an imaginative interplay of color and form, evokes a sense of deep, untamed wilderness that complements the main subjects—highlighting the unity between the woman and the goat, and their shared environment."Frau mit Ziege" is not just a visual delight but also an insightful commentary on the essence of pastoral life and the inherent bond between human beings and the natural world.

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.
