Mary Wigman's Dance

The artwork Mary Wigman's Dance is a print created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1933. It is currently held by the National Gallery of Art and measures 0.356 meters in width and 0.445 meters in height. The print depicts a dynamic and abstract figure, likely inspired by the movements of the German dancer Mary Wigman. Rendered in stark black and white, the figure's limbs are elongated and contorted, conveying a sense of energy and motion. The style reflects Kirchner's signature Expressionist approach, characterized by bold lines, simplified forms, and a focus on emotional experience.
