Portrait of Andreas Weissgaerber (First Version)
1919
Lovis Corinth captures violinist Andreas Weissgaerber with a frantic, scratchy energy that feels almost like a musical performance itself. Created in 1919, this piece showcases the artist's late style—raw and deeply expressive—a dramatic shift caused by a stroke he suffered years earlier that left his hand trembling but his vision sharper. The musician sits poised with his instrument, emerging from the rough, hatched shadows like a ghost of a melody, signed boldly at the bottom.
