Dunkle Köpfe auf Rot 1928

"Dunkle Köpfe auf Rot" (Dark Heads on Red) is a 1928 painting by German Expressionist artist Christian Rohlfs. The work features a shadowy figure, rendered in dark hues, set against a vivid red background. Rohlfs' signature style, characterized by bold strokes and emotional intensity, is evident in the painting's dramatic use of color and the figure's expressive features. The interplay of dark and light, the sense of isolation, and the overall mood of melancholy are key elements of the work. The painting exemplifies Rohlfs' fascination with human psychology and the power of color to convey emotions.
