Lovis Corinth

Group of women, one naked and another holding up a cloth by Lovis Corinth

Lovis Corinth brings a raw, chaotic energy to this scene, likely set in a bathhouse or artist's studio. A nude woman stands confidently center stage, laughing as she and a companion hold up a large sheet like a curtain, while a crowd of onlookers—some with almost grotesque, grinning faces—watch the spectacle. Corinth’s scratchy, vigorous lines are pure Expressionism, ditching perfect beauty for honest, unfiltered human emotion and movement. The edition number '47/75' in the corner tells us this is one of a limited run of prints, showcasing his incredible skill with graphic arts later in his career.
