About the Item

Venuswagen is an original modern rare book written by Johann Christoph Friedrich (von) Schiller (1759 – 1805) and illustrated by Lovis Corinth (21 July 1858 – 17 July 1925) in 1919. Published by Fritz Gurlitt, Berlin. Original edition of the Prospektbuch. Format: in 4°. The book includes 49 pages with 8 color full page lithographs. Mint conditions. Lovis Corinth (21 July 1858 – 17 July 1925). Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism. Corinth studied in Paris and Munich, joined the Berlin Secession group, later succeeding Max Liebermann as the group's president. His early work was naturalistic in approach. Corinth was initially antagonistic towards the expressionist movement, but after a stroke in 1911 his style loosened and took on many expressionistic qualities. His use of color became more vibrant, and he created portraits and landscapes of extraordinary vitality and power. Corinth's subject matter also included nudes and biblical scenes.
