Windmill | Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Postcard

Windmill (Eine Windmühle auf Fehmarn) (1908) is an original artwork by German expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938). The piece showcases an abstract landscape of a windmill set against the backdrop of rolling hills. Kirchner uses bold, vibrant colours and dynamic brushstrokes to bring energy to the scene, infusing it with both movement and emotion. The swirling, geometric forms reflect his expressionist approach to landscape painting, where the natural world is interpreted not just visually, but emotionally. The colours used in this piece, including greens, blues, and earth tones, create a lively contrast with the windmill, making it the focal point of the composition. Kirchner's work from this period often combined elements of abstraction with a direct emotional impact, and Windmill is a testament to his ability to evoke mood through simplified, bold visual language.
