The artwork titled “Two Nudes in the Wood II” is a 1926 oil painting on canvas by the artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. This painting, belonging to the Expressionism movement, measures 150 by 75 cm and is categorized under the genre of nude painting (nu).
In “Two Nudes in the Wood II,” Kirchner captures the essence of the Expressionist style through bold, vibrant colors and dynamic forms. The composition features two nude figures set against a woodland backdrop, executed in a striking palette of greens, yellows, blues, and earthy tones. The figures are depicted in a manner that emphasizes expressive outlines and exaggerated forms, typical of Kirchner’s work. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the abstracted representation of the forest, creates a vivid sense of movement and emotional depth, reflecting the artist’s distinct approach to conveying human emotion and natural surroundings.
