Alpenveilchen 1918

"Alpenveilchen," a 1918 painting by German Expressionist Christian Rohlfs, depicts a vibrant floral still life. Bold strokes of color, particularly the vibrant green of the leaves against the warm orange background, characterize the painting. The stylized forms of the flowers and leaves, along with the expressive brushwork, are hallmarks of Rohlfs' artistic style. This work exemplifies his interest in capturing the essence of natural forms through a simplified and subjective lens.
