Pareja bailando en la nieve (reverso) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1928-1929

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a founding member of the German Expressionist group Die Brücke, was known for painting on both sides of his canvases to save money, making this piece a hidden bonus on the back of another work! Created in the late 1920s during his exile in the Swiss Alps, the angular, intertwined figures dance with a frantic energy that masks the artist's deepening mental struggles. The bold, reddish outlines and cool blue tones create a striking contrast, capturing the raw, emotional intensity that defined his career right up until his tragic end.
