Song Bird 1912

Christian Rohlfs’s woodcut "Song Bird" (1912) depicts a stylized figure listening intently to a bird singing. The work, created in the Expressionist style, utilizes bold lines and stark contrasts to create a sense of raw emotion and intensity. The simplified forms and blue tones evoke a sense of isolation and introspection, characteristic of Rohlfs’s artistic vision. This woodcut is a testament to the artist's keen observation of nature and its ability to evoke profound emotions in the viewer.
