Windmill on Fehmarn (Dube E 48)
1908
Kirchner’s scratchy, frantic lines make this windmill on the island of Fehmarn look like it’s vibrating in a fierce coastal breeze. Created around 1908, this piece showcases the raw, jagged style of German Expressionism, where the artist prioritized emotional impact over realistic detail. The rough, almost chaotic strokes of the trees and the mill suggest a windy, dynamic day, capturing the feeling of the landscape rather than just its look. It’s a perfect example of how the Die Brücke artists wanted to break away from traditional, polished art.
