Female Nude
1910
Kirchner's 'Frauenakt' is a perfect example of the wild, unpolished style of German Expressionism. He uses jagged, frantic ink lines to sketch a nude woman, making her form look almost like it's vibrating with nervous energy. The thick, dark brushstrokes surrounding her feel like a chaotic forest or a crowded room pressing in on the figure. This wasn't about traditional beauty; it was about capturing the raw, intense feeling of the human body in a modern, often stressful world.
