"Der Raucher" (The Smoker) is a notable artwork by German expressionist painter Christian Rohlfs, created in 1910. This piece is emblematic of Rohlfs' transition from naturalism to a more expressionistic style, which he developed after his association with the Brücke artists and his exposure to the works of Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch. "Der Raucher" is characterized by its bold use of color, dramatic lighting, and the emotional intensity conveyed through the subject's posture and the composition's overall dynamism.

Christian Rohlfs (1849–1938) began his artistic career with a focus on landscape painting but his style evolved significantly over the years, especially after he moved to Weimar in 1884, where he was exposed to the avant-garde movements of the time. By the time he created "Der Raucher," Rohlfs had fully embraced expressionism, a movement that sought to convey emotional experience rather than physical reality.

The painting depicts a figure engaged in the act of smoking, a subject that allows for an exploration of psychological depth and human emotion. Rohlfs uses swirling, almost abstract forms to envelop the smoker, creating a sense of movement and intensity. The use of contrasting colors highlights the figure and emphasizes the act of smoking as a moment of introspection or detachment from the surrounding world.

"Der Raucher" is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for what it represents in the context of Rohlfs' oeuvre and the broader expressionist movement. It reflects the artist's interest in capturing the essence of human experience and the emotional states that transcend the specifics of time and place. This work is a testament to Rohlfs' mastery of color and form, and his ability to convey complex emotional states through his art.

Today, "Der Raucher" is considered an important work in the study of German expressionism and is featured in collections and exhibitions that focus on this pivotal period in art history. Its enduring appeal lies in its powerful expression of the human condition, a theme that remains relevant across cultures and eras.
