About the piece

Created in 1912 by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, this work is a quintessential example of the German Expressionist movement. It features the artist's signature use of non-naturalistic, high-contrast colors and jagged, rhythmic forms to convey the raw energy of the scene as a hunter aims his rifle through dense foliage.
