Die Welle 2004

"Die Welle" (2004) by Rolf Ohst is a large-scale painting featuring a reclining nude figure of a woman, possibly on a beach. The figure is depicted with a realistic style, capturing details of the body, including folds and curves. The woman's body takes up most of the canvas, dominating the composition. In the background, a group of smaller figures appear, adding a sense of scale and perspective to the painting. The scene is set against a backdrop of cloudy skies and a sea horizon, which evokes a sense of vastness and the natural world. The work can be interpreted as a comment on contemporary perceptions of the female body and its representation in art.
