Goats and Clouds

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows swirling and jagged lines crisscrossing the composition, creating an abstract landscape. Some lines resemble trees, while others suggest animals or mythical creatures. The top features swirling lines that look like clouds or smoke, adding a sense of dynamic movement. The arrangement invites viewers to search for familiar objects within the chaotic scene.
