Zwei Tanzende 1913

"Zwei Tanzende" (Two Dancing Figures) is a woodcut by German Expressionist artist Christian Rohlfs, created in 1913. The piece depicts two simplified, almost skeletal figures dancing within a bold black frame, their movements conveyed through exaggerated lines and forms. Rohlfs, known for his bold, simplified style, utilizes the woodcut technique to create a powerful and expressive image, characteristic of the Expressionist movement. This stark simplicity, combined with the figures' awkward postures, evokes a sense of raw emotion and urgency, a hallmark of Rohlfs' artistic vision.
