"Karl Schmidt-Rottluff's Woman with a Bag exemplifies his mastery within the Expressionism movement. As a founding member of Die Brücke, Rottluff emphasized vivid colors and bold forms to convey emotional depth. The painting captures a woman holding a bag, rendered with simplified shapes and striking contrasts that highlight the inner feelings rather than realistic accuracy. This Portrait-style work reflects the intense personal and social explorations typical of Expressionist art, emphasizing subjective experience over traditional representation."
