Description
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "act of white horse", made in 1909, is a painting that encapsulates the vibrant energy of expressionism, an artistic movement that Kirchner helped define. In this work, the representation of a white horse in the center of the composition is erected as a symbol of power and grace, complemented by the intricate interaction between the animal, the environment and the human figure that accompanies it. The dynamic position of the horse, immortalized at a time of the act of action, reflects an almost palpable sense of movement that invites the viewer to immerse the scene.
The color palette used by Kirchner is remarkable, with vibrant tones that highlight the vivacity of the representation. The use of glowing whites in the horse contrasts dramatically with the darkest and most saturated funds, which not only serve to frame the protagonist, but also instill an emotional feeling in the work. These chromatic elections are representative of the expressionist style, where color is used not only for faithful representation, but also to evoke deep and resonant sensations.
In it painting, The human figure assumes a secondary role, but no less relevant. His presence next to the horse suggests a symbiotic relationship between man and the beast, a dance and understanding dance that goes beyond the physical. The figure is in a pose that could well be interpreted as exhibitionism or interaction, which invites contemplation on the domain and domestification of the wild.
Kirchner, as part of the Die Brücke movement, sought to break the conventions of academic art of his time, exploring new forms and issues that captured the modern psyche. In "Act of acting of the white horse", the artist manages to merge his personal concerns with a broader theme, that of the relationship between nature and the human being, in a context that evokes the emergence of modernity in Germany of principles of the twentieth century. The work transcends its appearance, becoming an exploration not only of the scene represented, but of the internal struggle and duality of human existence in relation to its environment.
This painting, although not as widely recognized as other Kirchner works, shares similarities with its representations of human figures and the intersection between the natural and the cultural, predominant characteristics in his work. As a whole, "act of acting of the white horse" is a testimony of Kirchner's ability to evoke emotions through a carefully orchestrated composition, using the color and way to communicate not only the visible, but also the deeply felt. When observing this work, the viewer is in a dialogue not only with art, but with the complexities of the human condition and its relationship with the world around it.
