3 UMMA Objects
Sort by

A man and woman embrace in center; the man appears in a dress coat, the woman in a very large hat. She looks out at the viewer, while the man's head is turned to the left. Near the woman's left elbow is the outline of a suggested figure; another embracing couple is outlined to the right. The smaller figures suggest a perspective and size to the space, only suggested through brief lines and indistinct objects on the left. Artist's sketch from life; Kirchner developed a rapid, stroke-oriented (as opposed to detail-oriented) sketch style when out in the world.

This work is a drawing of three female figures in an abstract style. The figures are curvaceous and wear short dresses and corsets. The woman to the left has blond hair and is colored with light pinks and white. The two figures to the right are more boldly colored, one in blue and black, the other in green and black dresses. These two women stand in front of a doorway. The floor is colored brown and detailed with black horizontal lines as if to depict wood panels.
