Lovis CorinthAllemagne, 1858–1925Peut-on la contempler ?
Cleveland, États-Unis
Elle appartient à la collection, mais n’est pas présentée en ce moment.
After suffering a stroke in 1911, the German artist Lovis Corinth made numerous self-portraits that exhibit a preoccupation with his own mortality. Corinth created a mood of tension and anxiety by portraying himself in heavy shadow, with eyes staring straight out at the viewer; his marks made in the soft etching ground manifest a nervous energy.
