Collegio by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1928

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner captures a huddle of colleagues using his signature jagged, nervous ink lines. As a founding member of the German Expressionist group Die Brücke, he often used distorted forms to convey raw emotion rather than realistic detail. This 1928 sketch, titled *Kollegium*, features men with elongated bodies and anxious faces that seem to vibrate with energy, perfectly illustrating how Expressionists rejected traditional beauty to expose the psychological reality of the modern world.
