The Lamentation
1921 - 1922
Lovis Corinth’s late-career prints are pure emotional chaos, and 'Die Totenklage' (Lamentation of the Dead) is a perfect example. Created just a few years before his death in the early 1920s, the piece shows figures huddled in grief, rendered with frantic, scratchy lines that feel almost like they were carved in a frenzy. After suffering a severe stroke in 1911, Corinth’s style shifted dramatically from polished realism to this raw, trembling Expressionism. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes physical limitations don't stop an artist—they just force them to find a whole new, rawer way to speak.
