The artwork titled “Three Nudes in the Forest” was created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and belongs to the genres of Cubism and Expressionism. It is classified as a “nude painting (nu)” and depicts a scene featuring three nude figures in a forest setting.
In the artwork, Kirchner employs a vivid and unconventional color palette, with bold contrasts between vibrant yellows, greens, and dark hues. The figures are stylized, with elongated limbs and abstract forms, reflecting the influence of both Cubism and Expressionism. The background suggests a natural environment with abstracted representations of trees and water, indicated by simplified, angular shapes and patterns. This energetic composition is characteristic of Kirchner’s style, aiming to evoke emotional responses through exaggerated forms and intense colors.
