Mountains (Berge)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image displays intersecting lines and sweeping curves. The abstract composition is reminiscent of mountainous landscapes with jagged peaks and steep valleys. The overlapping layers and darker shading suggest depth, similar to shadows on rocky terrain. The visual elements convey movement and complexity, like a rugged mountain range.
