Lovis Corinth

Bezerros (Kälber) by Lovis Corinth, 1912

Lovis Corinth throws us right into a busy stable with this energetic 1912 sketch. A curious calf stands front and center, staring us down with wide eyes, while massive cows crowd the background, their forms built from rapid, scratchy lines. This piece highlights Corinth's shift toward Expressionism, where he ditched perfect polish for raw emotion and movement. It feels less like a formal portrait of farm animals and more like a fleeting glimpse into a chaotic barn—captured with the urgency of an artist who just had to get the idea down on paper.
