Self-portrait Lovis Corinth
This gritty self-portrait, dated April 30, 1920, shows the German artist Lovis Corinth wearing a wide-brimmed hat, his face emerging from deep shadows with a haunting intensity. Just nine years prior, a severe stroke had partially paralyzed the artist, transforming his style from polished Impressionism to the raw, emotional Expressionism seen here. The heavy, textured strokes give the portrait a vibrating energy, capturing the resilience of an artist who produced over 50 self-portraits throughout his turbulent life.
