Painted in 1912, 'Pharisees' by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff is an Expressionist painting featuring distorted figures and non-naturalistic colours. The work reflects the artist's involvement with the Die Brücke group and their critique of societal norms.
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, a German Expressionist painter and printmaker, created 'Pharisees' in 1912. Schmidt-Rottluff was a founding member of the artist group Die Brücke (The Bridge), which was a key movement in the development of Expressionism. His work is characterised by bold colours, simplified forms, and an emotional intensity that reflects the anxieties and upheavals of early 20th-century Germany. 'Pharisees' exemplifies Schmidt-Rottluff's Expressionist style through its distorted figures and non-naturalistic colour palette. The painting depicts three figures with angular faces and intense expressions, rendered in shades of red, yellow, blue, and green. The composition is dynamic, with sharp lines and contrasting colours that create a sense of unease. The title suggests a critical commentary on religious hypocrisy, a theme that resonates with the Expressionist movement's broader critique of societal norms and values. The painting's raw emotionality and unconventional aesthetic challenge traditional artistic conventions.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
