Wigman Dance Group
1928
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner captures the frantic energy of Mary Wigman’s expressionist dance troupe in this striking print. On the left, a row of elongated, ghost-like women stand in profile, almost like a flip-book animation showing the rhythm of movement. To the right, a larger figure twists dynamically with arms reaching up, embodying the raw, emotional power of modern dance. Kirchner, a key figure in German Expressionism, was fascinated by the human body in motion, stripping away realistic details to focus purely on jagged lines and form.
