Painting Description
"Selbstbildnis" (Self-Portrait), created in 1920 by the German painter Lovis Corinth, stands as a significant work in the artist's extensive oeuvre. Lovis Corinth, born Franz Heinrich Louis Corinth on July 21, 1858, in Tapiau, East Prussia (now Gvardeysk, Russia), was a pivotal figure in the transition from Impressionism to Expressionism in German art. His career spanned several decades, during which he produced a prolific body of work that includes portraits, landscapes, and historical scenes.
The 1920 self-portrait is particularly notable as it was created during the later years of Corinth's life, a period marked by both personal and professional transformation. In 1911, Corinth suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed on his left side. This event profoundly influenced his artistic style, leading to a more expressive and vigorous approach to painting. The self-portrait from 1920 reflects this shift, showcasing a raw and introspective examination of the artist's own visage.
In "Selbstbildnis," Corinth employs bold brushstrokes and a rich, dynamic palette to convey the complexities of his character and the physical toll of his stroke. The painting captures a sense of immediacy and emotional depth, with Corinth's gaze meeting the viewer's directly, exuding both defiance and vulnerability. The background is rendered in a loose, almost abstract manner, allowing the focus to remain firmly on the artist's face and upper body.
This self-portrait is not merely a reflection of Corinth's physical appearance but also a testament to his resilience and enduring creative spirit. It stands as a poignant reminder of the artist's ability to adapt and evolve in the face of adversity, continuing to produce compelling and innovative work until his death on July 17, 1925.
"Selbstbildnis" (1920) is housed in various collections and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the life and mind of one of Germany's most influential painters.
