With its swirling brush strokes and bold outlines, “Bauernwagen mit Pferd” is not just a portrayal of a farmer and his horse but a powerful expression of life’s rhythm in the simplicity of rural settings.This painting is an exemplary piece of Expressionism, capturing the essence of human and animal synergy, and the profound connection to the landscape that surrounds them.

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.
