Cabeça de menina
1910
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, a founding member of the German Expressionist group Die Brücke, created this striking portrait around 1910. Notice the bold, almost aggressive black brushstrokes that define the girl's hat and profile, contrasting sharply with the delicate, sketchy lines of her face and chest. This raw, energetic style was a rebellion against traditional academic art, aiming to capture raw emotion rather than realistic perfection. The abstract shapes floating around her add a dreamlike, modernist touch that was revolutionary for its time.
