More about this artwork
"Verliebt" (1912) by Christian Rohlfs is an evocative piece that captures the intense emotion of love through expressive figuration. This artwork features two figures, with a starkly contrasted color palette, beautifully highlighting their forms against a vibrant red background. The depiction, while abstract, conveys a profound connection between the figures captured in an intimate moment. The taller figure leans toward the reclined figure, conveying a sense of tenderness and care. Rohlfs' use of simplistic lines and forms distills the complex emotion of love to its essence, allowing viewers to engage with the artwork on a deeply emotional level.This painting is an exemplary piece of German Expressionism, a movement known for its emphasis on raw, emotional expression over realistic representation.
