Walchensee
1920
Lovis Corinth practically moved into this landscape during the last years of his life, buying a house right on the shores of Lake Walchensee in Bavaria. This 1920 work captures the scene with wild, sweeping strokes that feel more like a stormy memory than a precise photograph. You can see a rickety fence in the foreground and dark, brooding clouds rolling over the water, showing off his shift toward Expressionism where emotion mattered more than realism. It’s a messy, beautiful snapshot of a man finding peace in nature while his health was failing.
