Kniender Akt 1916

Christian Rohlfs's *Kniender Akt* (1916) is a powerful example of German Expressionism. The painting features a nude figure rendered in thick, gestural brushstrokes, with a strong focus on form and volume. Rohlfs emphasizes the figure's bodily presence, creating a sense of raw energy and emotion. The artist's use of color is equally impactful, with bold strokes of blue, yellow, and orange creating a dramatic and expressive composition. This work showcases Rohlfs's mastery of color and form, capturing the essence of the human figure in a compelling and evocative manner.
