'The Red Tower at Halle', 1915 (oil on canvas by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Painting by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner born 6 May 1880 – 15 June 1938. He was a German Expressionist artist and painter. Expressionist painting was one that projects the painter's inner feeling (Thus emotionally and spiritually)
The drawing is on a canvas painted with oil red showing different paths, blue, black and pinkish background. In my perspective I believe he was portraying a an emotional feeling of how the beautiful world is divided into two. A beautiful and peaceful part but then leads to the other part where its full of war and fights.
The Expressionists were divided into two elements which the art depicts:The Die Brücke and The Der Blaue Reiter.
The Die Brücke meaning bridge was one part which the art shows in red/orange-like. it was an artistic community of young artists in Dresden who aimed to overthrow the conservative traditions of German art. Whiles The Der Blaue Reiter (the Blue Rider) was a group of artists whose publications and exhibitions sought to find a common creative ground between the various Expressionist art form
