This woodcut shows a nude woman with bold, angular lines. Her body is sharp and stylized. Dark shapes swirl around her like wild plants. Kirchner’s cuts look almost violent. They flatten her body into sharp planes. His work feels raw and urgent. The style stands out next to others. It’s not soft or gentle. Try looking up Kirchner, Ernst Ludwig.
