다섯 명의 매춘부
1913
Step into the jagged, high-contrast world of Berlin's nightlife with Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's 'Five Cocottes.' As a leading figure of the German Expressionist group Die Brücke, Kirchner captured the nervous, electric energy of the city just before World War I. These five stylized figures—courtesans or streetwalkers—stand with sharp, angular poses against a fractured background, their faces almost mask-like and haunting. The aggressive, gouged lines of this woodcut perfectly mirror the chaotic and often gritty reality of urban life that fascinated the artist.
