The Expulsion from Paradise (Austreibung aus dem Paradies)
1919
Imagine being kicked out of the best party ever—that's the vibe of Lovis Corinth's 1919 masterpiece. Adam and Eve aren't just leaving; they're being shoved out by a terrifying, winged angel while looking absolutely petrified. Created right after World War I, the jagged, frantic lines capture the anxiety of the era perfectly. Interestingly, Corinth had suffered a stroke years prior, which loosened his style from stiff academic rules into this wild, emotional expressionism we see here.
