Reclining Female Nude
1907
Lovis Corinth throws classical grace out the window here, presenting a raw, fleshy figure sprawled across a bed with vigorous, almost aggressive brushstrokes. Painted in 1907, this piece captures the German artist's pivotal shift toward Expressionism, focusing on the heavy, physical reality of the body rather than an idealized goddess. The tangled limbs and rough texture show Corinth's fascination with painting the human form exactly as he saw it—imperfect, heavy, and undeniably alive, bridging the gap between Impressionist light and raw emotional power.
