Street in Soest 1911

"Street in Soest" (1911) is a woodcut by German Expressionist artist Christian Rohlfs. The artwork features a simplified, almost abstract depiction of a street scene in Soest, Germany. Rohlfs' use of bold, black lines and stark contrasts creates a sense of dynamism and energy, characteristic of Expressionist art. The figures in the foreground are rendered in a simplified, almost geometric style, adding to the overall feeling of abstraction. The piece reflects Rohlfs' interest in capturing the essence of his subject matter through bold, expressive strokes, emphasizing the emotional impact over realistic representation.
