Schmidt-Rotluff was a member of the Expressionist movement, which sought to express emotional and psychological states through the use of color, form, and line.

Schmidt-Rotluff was known for his landscapes, still lifes, and portraits, which were characterized by their bold, expressive brushwork and bright, vibrant colors. He was also interested in the graphic arts and produced a number of prints and illustrations during his career. Schmidt-Rotluff exhibited his work widely in Germany and internationally, and his work can be found in many public and private collections. He died in 1976 at the age of 92.
