The artwork, titled “Men with Wheelbarrows,” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner between 1926 and 1927. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is classified as genre painting. The dimensions of the artwork are 46 x 38 cm.
The artwork portrays two men pushing wheelbarrows, rendered in a dynamic and somewhat abstract style characteristic of Expressionism. The bold and somewhat jagged brush strokes, along with the vivid and contrasting colors, convey a sense of movement and intensity. The men appear to be exerting effort, with their postures and the angular lines suggesting physical labor. The background features an abstract, colorful landscape which enhances the overall vibrancy and adds to the emotional intensity of the scene. The expressive forms and intense colors serve to evoke the arduous nature of the men’s work and the emotional ambiance of their activity.
