Weiblicher Akt 1918

"Weiblicher Akt" (Female Nude), created in 1918 by German Expressionist artist Christian Rohlfs, depicts a female figure in a reclined pose, emphasizing form and movement through bold brushstrokes. The painting's dynamic composition and expressive use of color are characteristic of Rohlfs' style, which often explored themes of the human figure and the raw emotions it conveyed. The artist's signature approach to painting, utilizing a thick application of paint, further accentuates the subject's physicality and the emotional weight of the scene. This powerful depiction exemplifies Rohlfs' contributions to the Expressionist movement, which sought to convey subjective experiences and emotions in art.
