White Beeches in Fall 1910

Christian Rohlfs's "White Beeches in Fall" (1910) is a vibrant oil painting that depicts the rich hues of autumn foliage in a forest. The work is characterized by Rohlfs's signature expressive brushstrokes, which give the trees a dynamic and almost abstract quality. The white trunks of the beeches stand out against the background of warm reds, oranges, and yellows, creating a striking contrast. Rohlfs's distinctive style, influenced by Expressionism and Jugendstil, is evident in the painting's bold colors and simplified forms. The painting is a testament to Rohlfs's ability to capture the beauty and energy of the natural world.
