Return of the Animals | Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Postcard

Return of the Animals (1919) by German expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner depicts a moody mountain landscape where animals roam amidst a village. Kirchner’s signature use of vibrant, saturated colours creates a sense of dynamic energy and emotion in the scene. The animals, perhaps symbolizing a return to nature or a link between humanity and the wild, interact with the village in a surreal and dreamlike way. The bold rainbow hues elevate the emotional depth of the piece, showcasing Kirchner’s ability to capture both the rawness of nature and the tension within human existence.
