베를린 티어가르텐의 아이스링크 by Lovis Corinth, 1909

Berliners flocked to the Tiergarten for winter fun, and Lovis Corinth captured that chaotic energy perfectly in this 1909 scene. The brushwork is frantic and loose, mirroring the slippery motion of skaters gliding past dark, looming trees and rustic warming huts. This piece marks his exciting shift toward Expressionism, where the raw, biting feeling of the cold matters far more than photographic detail. You can almost hear the scrape of skates on ice in those aggressive, swirling strokes of grey and white paint.
