Scène alpine
1922
Kirchner’s scratchy, energetic lines bring this alpine scene to life with raw, nervous energy, typical of his Expressionist style. Two large cows dominate the foreground, grazing peacefully while a group of figures trudge along a path in the background, seemingly ignoring the massive beasts. Kirchner often sought refuge in the Swiss mountains to escape the chaos of city life, and you can feel that rustic, rugged atmosphere in every quick, confident stroke.
