Among the final works of Expressionist pioneer Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938), this stunning piece is one of the few true artistic masterpieces focused entirely on the game of hockey! Kirchner perfectly captures the graceful, elegant side of the game with his colorful, athletic players, and gives them a fast-moving animated look with linear shadowing and a curved background shape that was probably meant to resemble a frozen river. A unique beauty for the wall of the hockey fan with a refined sense of style!
