Enfermera (Pflegerin)
1914
Lovis Corinth captures a moment of weary resilience in this 1914 portrait of a nurse, created right at the outbreak of World War I. The subject leans heavily on her hand, her gaze direct and almost conspiratorial, as if sharing a secret joke amidst the coming chaos. The loose, scratchy lines reflect Corinth's dramatic shift toward Expressionism following a stroke in 1911, where he traded polished realism for a raw, energetic style that feels incredibly modern.
