1910
Lovis Corinth captures himself in a moment of intense creativity, looking more like a rugged detective in a dark fedora than a traditional painter. He sits beside a resting pipe and an easel holding a ghostly, sketchy portrait of a woman, perhaps his wife and muse Charlotte. The loose, frantic lines of this 1910 work showcase the raw energy of German Expressionism, created just a year before a stroke would force him to reinvent his style with even wilder, more emotional brushwork.
