Peter Schlemihls wundersame Geschichte: Schlemihls Begegnung mit dem Schatten (Peter Schlemihl's Wondrous Story: Schlemihl's Encounter with His Shadow)

Characterized by bold, expressive shapes and a vibrant color palette of red, blue, green, and yellow hues, the work embodies Kirchner's Expressionist style, conveying a sense of dynamic energy and movement.

Kirchner, a founding member of Die Brücke, faced political persecution under the Nazi regime, which labeled his art 'degenerate' and confiscated or destroyed many of his works.
