"Kopf Professor Graef" (Head of Professor Graef) is a notable work by the German expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in the early 20th century. Kirchner, a leading figure in the Die Brücke group, was known for his vivid use of color and dynamic brushwork, which aimed to convey emotional responses rather than realistic depictions. This particular piece is a portrait of Professor Friedrich Albin Graef, a renowned ophthalmologist of the time.

The painting is characterized by its bold color palette and the intense, almost confrontational gaze of the subject, which is typical of Kirchner's approach to portraiture. The use of sharp lines and contrasting colors reflects the influence of African and Oceanic art on Kirchner, as well as the broader expressionist movement's interest in primitivism. "Kopf Professor Graef" exemplifies Kirchner's exploration of the psychological depth of his subjects, a hallmark of his portraiture that sought to capture the inner turmoil and complexities of the human psyche.

As with many of Kirchner's works, "Kopf Professor Graef" is significant for its reflection of the anxieties and uncertainties of the modern age, particularly in the rapidly changing society of pre-World War I Germany. The painting is also notable for its historical context, as Kirchner's career was marked by personal struggles, which were further exacerbated by the war and its aftermath. His works, including this portrait, are often seen as a window into the artist's own troubled experiences, as well as the broader societal shifts of the time.

The painting is held in a public or private collection, and it has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Kirchner's oeuvre and the evolution of expressionism as a pivotal art movement in the early 20th century. "Kopf Professor Graef" remains an important piece for scholars studying Kirchner's body of work, as well as for those interested in the broader development of modern art.
