Answer:
The correct answer is <u>D</u>: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
Explanation:
<em>Street, Berlin</em> is an oil on canvas painting by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880 – 1938), painted in 1913, before the World War I.
The painting represents Berlin streets with two prostitutes in the center, and a lot of faceless gentlemen, dressed in the same way, standing around these women.
With this painting, Kirchner tried to describe all the contradictions of Berlin, by representing its prestige, elegance, glamour, and on the other hand, decadence, loneliness, crowd, and a lot of faceless people. Kirchner also highlights these contradictions with colors he uses, so we can notice different shades of pink, purple, and blue, that express the importance of prestige, glamour, and material goods, while the domination of black shows his attitude towards society.
The painting is located in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
