More about this artwork

Christian Rohlfs’ intriguing work, "Hexe," meaning "Witch" in English, finds its origins in the expressive realms of German Expressionism. Crafted in 1910, this striking woodcut captures a compelling image of a witch, rendered in a style that emphasizes stark contrasts and bold, unrefined lines that are characteristic of this art movement.The composition prominently features an elderly woman characterized by her gaunt, sharply defined features. Her intense gaze and the prominent, wiry textures of her hair and garments invite viewers to delve into a portrayal that transcends the mere formality of a witch’s depiction. Instead, Rohlfs explores themes of age, wisdom, and perhaps malevolence or misunderstood mystique, imbuing the figure with an aura that is as compelling as it is eerie.The simplicity and rough nature of the woodcut technique highlight the raw emotional grasp Rohlfs aimed to evoke, pushing the viewer to confront the subject's intense presence directly.
