About the piece

Painted in 1910, this iconic work by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a cornerstone of the Die Brücke movement. The artist depicts himself in a striking orange and blue striped robe, using raw brushwork and a vivid, non-naturalistic color palette to convey the creative intensity of the studio environment. The contrast between the figure of the artist and the model creates a dynamic, high-energy composition that defines the Expressionist era.
