Woodcuts by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

These woodcuts are by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, another founding member of Die Brücke. He committed suicide. I like these prints vKirchner_-_Nackte_junge_Frau_vor_dem_Ofen_-_1905ery much, although the figures he creates are generally more simplified than I would try to create myself.

I have always appreciated anatomical accuracy, and aim for a more realistic figure. I think the lesson for me to learn from these prints is about composition, and how one constructs the underlying shapes in an image for a woodcut.
