Rote Tulpen 1926

"Rote Tulpen" (Red Tulips) is a vibrant 1926 painting by Christian Rohlfs, a German Expressionist painter. The piece captures a bouquet of red tulips against a bold blue background, their form simplified yet expressive. The brushstrokes are loose and energetic, emphasizing the dynamic shapes and colors of the flowers. The background appears textured and layered, perhaps suggesting a patterned cloth or wall, adding depth to the composition. This artwork is characteristic of Rohlfs' expressive style, which often focused on capturing the essence of form and color through bold strokes and simplified compositions.
