Still Life with Chrysanthemums and Amaryllis
1922
Lovis Corinth painted this explosive bouquet in 1922, just a year before his death, and you can feel the urgency in every thick, slashing brushstroke. After suffering a severe stroke in 1911, his style shifted dramatically from academic realism to this wild, emotional Expressionism, where the flowers look like they're vibrating with raw energy. The chaotic arrangement of chrysanthemums and amaryllis feels less like a quiet, traditional still life and more like a garden party caught in a gust of wind.
