1917
Painted in 1917 during the horrors of World War I, Lovis Corinth’s 'Cain' is a raw, explosive take on the biblical first murder. The dark, brooding figure of Cain looms over his fallen brother Abel, rendered with thick, frantic brushstrokes that make the entire scene feel like it's vibrating with guilt and violence. This Expressionist masterpiece ditches realistic detail for pure emotional punch, using swirling blues and stark blacks to mirror the turmoil in Cain's mind. Corinth had suffered a stroke years earlier, which actually freed his style to become wilder and more intense, turning this biblical tragedy into a chaotic storm of paint.
