Cows in Autumn | Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Poster

Cows in Autumn (Kühe im Herbst) (1924-1926) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner is a striking example of the artist's expressive approach to landscape and rural life. Known for his contributions to the Expressionist movement and his membership in the avant-garde group Die Brücke, Kirchner uses bold, angular lines and a vibrant colour palette to depict a serene autumn scene. The cows, painted with exaggerated forms, stand out against the dynamic, swirling colours of the autumn landscape. The emotional intensity of the piece is typical of Kirchner's style, as he conveys the raw energy and psychological depth of nature, even in a seemingly peaceful rural setting. Through this work, Kirchner explores the contrast between the tranquillity of the countryside and the intensity of his emotive visual language.
