In the Tiergarten
1920
Lovis Corinth turns a peaceful stroll through Berlin's famous Tiergarten park into a frantic, scratchy dance of lines. Created in 1920, this print reflects his late Expressionist style, which grew wilder and more raw after a severe stroke in 1911 left his hand trembling but his artistic vision sharper than ever. The trees lean over the water like skeletal figures, their dark reflections shimmering in the heavy, cross-hatched ripples below. You can even see his signature scrawled in pencil at the bottom right, sealing this moody capture of the German landscape.
