Sul lago di Walchen (Am Walchensee)
1920
Lovis Corinth didn't just capture the Walchensee; he attacked the paper with it. Created in 1920, this print bursts with frantic, scratchy lines that make the Bavarian sky look like it's churning with energy. The dark, heavy mountains loom over the calm water, showing how Corinth's style shifted from Impressionism to a raw, vibrating Expressionism after he suffered a stroke years earlier. He spent his final years obsessed with this alpine lake, capturing its moods with a frenetic energy that feels incredibly modern.
