Berlin Street Scene
ca. 1914
Step into the frantic nightlife of 1914 Berlin with Ernst Ludwig Kirchner! As a founding member of the Expressionist group Die Brücke, Kirchner captured the city's chaotic energy by turning its inhabitants into jagged, mask-like figures. Here, elongated men in top hats and a striking woman in a vibrant blue coat and massive black feather boa strut past, their sharp angles reflecting the anxiety and alienation of modern urban life. It’s a raw, scratchy snapshot of the demimonde that feels less like a polite portrait and more like a fever dream of the early 20th-century metropolis.
