The artwork titled “Portrait of Dr. Huggler” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1935. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement, features a portrait genre, and measures 50 x 35 cm.
The artwork presents a stark, high-contrast image dominated by sharp, angular lines and abstract shapes characteristic of Expressionism. The subject, depicted with exaggerated features and a somewhat distorted face, evokes a sense of intense emotion and psychological depth. The background includes a potted plant with detailed foliage and stripes that add to the overall tension of the composition. The artist’s use of bold black and white forms creates a visually arresting and thought-provoking piece that captures the viewer’s attention.
