Large Walchen Sea Landscape (Grosse Walchenseelandschaft)
1923
Lovis Corinth essentially moved into this view during his final years, setting up shop at Lake Walchen in the Bavarian Alps. Just look at those frantic, scratchy lines—they aren't just drawing trees; they're vibrating with the raw, nervous energy of German Expressionism. That tall, spiky pine tree in the center stands like a guardian over a tiny hut and the vast water behind it. It’s a wild, unpolished snapshot of nature by an artist who suffered a stroke years earlier, which ironically freed him to create with even wilder, bolder strokes until his death.
