Withered Tulips | Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Poster

Withered Tulips (Verblühte Tulpen) (1914) is an original artwork by German expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The painting features a colourful abstract still life of tulips in a bright yellow vase, capturing the flowers in a stage of wilting or decay. Kirchner uses bold, vibrant colours and dynamic brushstrokes to convey the emotions surrounding the passage of time and the fleeting nature of beauty. The strong use of yellow in the vase contrasts against the more muted tones of the flowers, creating an evocative and intense composition. The abstract nature of the work, paired with Kirchner's distinctive expressionist style, emphasises the emotional depth of the subject rather than focusing on a realistic depiction.
