In this painting, Kirchner marries a sense of structure with the freedom of vivid color and dynamic lines, capturing a series of urban buildings caressed by the lush greenery of an alluring tree-lined avenue. The bold blues and gentle yellows of the facades contrast dramatically with the lush, dark green palm fronds, creating a composition that is simultaneously animated and harmonious.This artwork illustrates Kirchner's fascination with urban scenes and his unique ability to infuse them with emotional depth through his choice of colors and spontaneous stroke work. The curving street invites viewers to meander through the scene, experiencing the interplay of natural and built elements. "Häuser mit Allee" is not just a portrayal of a specific place but a vivid expression of the mood and atmosphere, characteristic of Kirchner's groundbreaking approach to modern 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.
