Dune di sabbia sotto gli alberi
1912
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner captures the wild energy of nature in this vibrant 1912 sketch, a perfect example of German Expressionism. Frantic black ink lines dance across the page, outlining tall, swaying trees with blue-green canopies and reddish trunks that seem to lean in over a bright yellow sand dune. As a founding member of the avant-garde group Die Brücke, Kirchner rejected realistic proportions in favor of raw emotion and jagged forms. The loose, almost chaotic washes of color make the forest feel alive and untamed, inviting you to step right into this sun-dappled, windswept landscape.
