EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Susanna and the Elders, 1916/1917" by Christian Rohlfs transports viewers to a moment frozen in time. This black and white woodcut, created during the early 20th century expressionist movement, showcases Rohlfs' artistic prowess and his ability to convey complex concepts through his work. In this thought-provoking piece, we witness Susanna, a female figure from biblical lore, surrounded by three elderly men. The composition exudes tension as their lecherous gazes are juxtaposed with Susanna's expression of vulnerability and defiance. Rohlfs skillfully captures the essence of voyeurism and explores themes of integrity within religious contexts. As we delve into the image's details, we notice the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Rohlfs' German heritage art. The intricate lines etched onto wove paper create a striking contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing each character's presence in this narrative scene. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork invites contemplation on timeless subjects such as power dynamics, morality, and gender roles. Through his masterful portrayal of human emotions and interactions, Rohlfs prompts us to question societal norms while appreciating his unique interpretation of biblical stories. This print serves as a testament to Christian Rohlfs' significant contribution to art history. It stands as an enduring reminder that even within seemingly simple black-and-white images lies profound depth waiting to be explored by those who dare
