Mask in a White Dress
1902
Step right up to the masquerade! Lovis Corinth captures a mysterious woman in 1902, her face hidden behind a dramatic black mask and veil while she clutches a matching fan. Her white dress glows against the dark background, and that playful, red-lipped smile suggests she's enjoying the game of hide-and-seek. Corinth’s brushwork is wild and loose here, showing his shift from realistic Impressionism to the emotional punch of Expressionism. You can almost feel the rustle of the silk and the whisper of secrets at this party.
