Junkerboden (Landscape near Davos)
1937
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner captures the rugged Swiss Alps near Davos with his signature jagged, energetic lines. The scene features a snowy valley dotted with tiny houses and a winding blue stream, all overshadowed by a massive, dark mountain covered in striking orange and deep green trees. Created in 1937, this expressive drawing reflects Kirchner's deep connection to the Alpine landscape, which became his refuge during the turbulent years of the 20th century. The vibrant, almost clashing colors give the quiet winter scene a pulsing, lively energy that feels anything but still.
