"True art is the soul's triumph over physical catastrophe."

Archival Overview

German master painter and president of the Berlin Secession whose style dramatically evolved from robust naturalism into feverish, tragic late Expressionist masterpieces.

Biographical Record

Lovis Corinth (1858–1925 CE) studied in Munich and the Académie Julian in Paris, becoming a dominant force alongside Max Liebermann in the Berlin Secession.

After suffering a debilitating stroke in 1911 that left his hands trembling, his art underwent a breathtaking transformation, producing raw, emotional portraits and landscapes of the Walchensee.
