Frutteto (Obstgarten)
1918
Lovis Corinth created this energetic view of an orchard in 1918, late in his life when he was a leading figure in German Expressionism. Notice how the trees aren't perfectly realistic; instead, they twist and turn with scratchy, frantic lines that capture the raw, vibrating feeling of nature rather than just its appearance. This loose, expressive approach became his signature after a severe stroke transformed his style, turning what could have been a peaceful garden scene into a dynamic landscape full of raw energy.
