Red Roses
1925
Lovis Corinth painted these vibrant red roses in 1925, the very year he died, capturing a frantic energy that defines his late Expressionist style. After a severe stroke in 1911 paralyzed his right side, he had to relearn how to paint with his left hand. This physical struggle transformed his work from polished realism to these wild, churning brushstrokes. The flowers seem to explode out of the dark, swirling vase, fighting for attention against the gloomy background with a raw, emotional power.
