Milk Wagon
1916
Lovis Corinth’s 'Milchwagen' (Milk Wagon) looks like a frantic sketch, but there's a powerful story behind those scratchy lines. Created in 1916, this piece shows a horse-drawn cart and rustic building rendered with wild, cross-hatched energy. After suffering a stroke in 1911 that paralyzed his right hand, Corinth had to relearn how to draw, resulting in this raw, trembling style that defines his late Expressionist work. The shivering trees and rough outlines feel less like a winter landscape and more like a physical record of the artist's struggle and resilience.
