Lovis Corinth

1919

Dans l'atelier by Lovis Corinth, 1919

Lovis Corinth captures a raw, intimate moment in his studio here, standing beside a nude model while clutching a sketchbook. The scratchy, energetic lines—typical of his late Expressionist style after a 1911 stroke radically changed his artistic approach—give the scene a frantic, almost vibrating energy. Notice the bull’s head mounted on the wall behind them; it’s a classic studio prop that adds a touch of wildness to the setting. This 1919 print is essentially a self-portrait, showing the artist at work in his Berlin atelier just a few years before his death.
