Lady at the goldfish basin
1911
Imagine stepping into a sunlit room in 1911 Berlin where Lovis Corinth has captured his wife, Charlotte, lost in a book. She wears a dramatic striped dress that demands attention, yet she sits peacefully amidst a riot of nature. Huge leafy plants crowd the space, and a large glass tank of goldfish sits right beside her, the orange fish darting around like little jewels. As a key figure in German Expressionism, Corinth didn't care about perfect lines; he used wild, sweeping brushstrokes to capture the feeling of the moment—cozy, vibrant, and slightly chaotic.
