About the Item
Lovis Corinth (1858 Tapiau - 1925 Zandvoort), In bed, 1909. Drypoint on laid paper with watermark, 14.3 cm x 19 cm (image), 29 cm x 39.3 cm (sheet size), signed “Lovis Corinth” in pencil lower right.
- the wide margin partially wavy and with tidemark lower right, minimally light-stained and slightly stained
- Reverie -
The etching depicts Lovis Corinth's wife, Charlotte Berend-Corinth. It is likely a portrait taken after the birth of their daughter, Wilhelmine, as indicated by her bare décolletage. Her hand with the wedding ring rests there as well. Her gaze is directed almost dreamily upward. This creates an atmosphere of relaxed fulfillment, reinforced by the etching needle's breathy yet concise style.
About the artist
Determined to become an artist, Corinth entered the Königsberg Art Academy in 1876, where he studied under Otto Günther, who introduced him to Weimar plein-air painting. On Günther's recommendation, Corinth moved to the Munich Art Academy in 1880. There, under the influence of the circle of Leibl and Wilhelm Trübner, he adopted a naturalistic approach to art that was opposed to academic history painting.
After interrupting his studies for a year to do voluntary military service, Corinth went on a study trip to Italy in 1883 and the following year to Antwerp, where he took art lessons from Paul Eugène Gorge. From 1884 to 1887, Corinth stayed in Paris and devoted himself mainly to nude painting at the private Académie Julian.
After a stopover in Berlin, where he met Max Klinger, Walter Leistikow and Karl Stauffer-Bern, Corinth lived in Munich from 1891 to 1901 and became a founding member of the Munich Secession, which was founded in 1892 by Max Liebermann, Otto Eckmann, Thomas Theodor Heine, Hans Olde, Hans Thoma, Wilhelm Trübner, Franz von Stuck and Fritz von Uhde. The Secession gave rise to the Free Association of the XXIV or Munich 24, to which Corinth also belonged.
In 1894, under the tutelage of Otto Eckmann, Corinth learnt the art of etching and, in the field of painting, developed the wet-on-wet style that would characterise his work and lead to the relief-like texture of his paintings.
His relationship with Berlin became more and more intense. When he attended the first exhibition of the Berlin Secession in 1899, he painted a portrait of Liebemann, who in turn painted a portrait of Corinth. After the Munich Secession rejected his painting Salome, he finally moved to Berlin, where the painting was admired at the Secession exhibition and Corinth - through Leistikow - became a much sought-after portraitist.
In 1903 Corinth opened an art school and in 1904 he married his first pupil, Charlotte Berend. His first solo exhibition was organised by Paul Cassirer. In Berlin, Corinth also began to devote himself to the theatre. He worked with Max Reinhardt, designing sets and costumes.
Following Max Liebermann's resignation, Corinth was elected chairman of the Secession in 1911. In the same year, he suffered a stroke that paralysed half of his body. He then devoted himself intensively to graphic art and opened up the field of book illustration.
In 1913, Paul Cassirer organised the first major retrospective of Corinth's work, and in 1918, on his 60th birthday, the Berlin Secession devoted a major exhibition to his work. In 1923, on his 65th birthday, his artistic career was crowned with a extense solo exhibition at the National Gallery.
Even after the 'Freie Sezession' split from the 'Berliner Sezession', Corinth remained in the original association, becoming chairman again in 1915 and professor at the Berlin Academy of Arts the following year.
In 1919, the Corinths purchased the retreat at the Walchensee in Bavaria, which Corinth captured in more than 60 paintings. Corinth died in 1925 on a trip to Amsterdam to see his great idols, Frans Hals and Rembrandt.
GERMAN VERSION
Lovis Corinth (1858 Tapiau - 1925 Zandvoort), Im Bett, 1909. Kaltnadelradierung auf Büttenpapier mit Wasserzeichen, 14,3 cm x 19 cm (Darstellung), 29 cm x 39,3 cm (Blattgröße), rechts unten in Blei mit „Lovis Corinth“ signiert.
- der breite Rand teilweise gewellt und rechts unten mit Wasserrand, minimal lichtrandig und leicht fleckig
- Reverie -
Die Radierung zeigt Lovis Corinths Frau, Charlotte Berend-Corinth, wohl nach der Geburt der gemeinansamen Tochter Wilhelmine, worauf das entblößte Dekolleté verweist. Dort ruht auch die Hand mit dem Ehering. Der Blick ist beinahe träumerisch nach oben gerichtet. Es entsteht die Atmosphäre einer gelösten Erfülltheit, die vom gehauchten und dennoch prägnanten Duktus der Radiernadel verstärkt wird.
zum Künstler
Entschlossen Künstler zu werden, trat Corinth 1876 in die Kunstakademie Königsberg ein, wo er bei Otto Günther studierte, der ihm die Weimarer Freilichtmalerei nahebrachte. Auf Günthers Empfehlung wechselte Corinth 1880 an die Münchner Kunstakademie. Unter dem Einfluss des Leibls-Kreises und Wilhelm Trübners folgte er dort einem naturalistischen Kunstverständnis, das gegen die akademische Historienmalerei gerichtet war.
Nach einer einjährigen Studienunterbrechung zur Ableistung eines freiwilligen Militärdienstes begab sich Corinth 1883 auf eine Studienreise nach Italien und im Folgejahr nach Antwerpen, wo er bei Paul Eugène Gorge Kunstunterricht nahm. 1884-1887 weilte Corinth in Paris und widmete sich an der privaten Académie Julian vor allem der Aktmalerei.
Nach einer Zwischenstation in Berlin, wo er Max Klinger, Walter Leistikow und Karl Stauffer-Bern kennenlernte, lebte Corinth von 1891-1901 in München und wurde Gründungsmitglied der 1892 ins Leben gerufenen Münchener Secession, der sich Max Liebermann, Otto Eckmann, Thomas Theodor Heine, Hans Olde, Hans Thoma, Wilhelm Trübner, Franz von Stuck und Fritz von Uhde anschlossen. Aus der Sezession ging die Abspaltung Freie Vereinigung der XXIV oder Münchner 24 hervor, zu der auch Corinth gehörte.
Von Otto Eckmann angeleitet erlernte Corinth 1894 die Kunst des Radierens und entwickelte auf dem Feld der Malerei die für sein Werk prägende Nass-in-Nass-Malerei, die zum reliefartigen Duktus seiner Gemälde führte.
Die Beziehungen nach Berlin wurden immer intensiver. Als er 1899 zur ersten Ausstellung der Berliner Secession fuhr porträtierte er Liebemann, der seinerseits ein Porträt von Corinth anfertigte. Nachdem die Münchner Sezession sein Bild Salome abgelehnt hatte, zog er endgültig nach Berlin, wo das Gemälde auf der dortigen Sezessionsausstellung Bewunderung fand und Corinth – von Leistikow vermittelt – zum gefragten Porträtmaler wurde.
1903 eröffnete Corinth eine Malerschule und heiratete 1904 seine erste Schülerin Charlotte Berend. Von Paul Cassirer veranstaltet erfolgte die erste Einzelausstellung. In Berlin begann sich Corinth auch dem Theater zu widmen. Er arbeitete mit Max Reinhardt zusammen, entwarf Bühnenbilder und Kostüme.
Nach dem Rücktritt Max Liebermanns wurde Corinth 1911 zum Vorsitzenden der Secession gewählt. Im selben Jahr erlitt er einen Schlaganfall, der ihn halbseitige lähmte. In der Folge wandte er sich intensiv der Grafik zu und erschloss sich das Feld der Buchillustration.
1913 veranstaltetet Paul Cassirer die erste große Retrospektive und zum 60. Geburtstag Corinths widmete ihm die Berliner Secession 1918 eine großangelegte Werkschau. 1923, zu seinem 65. Geburtstag, wurde seine künstlerische Karriere mit einer umfassenden Einzelausstellung in der Nationalgalerie gekrönt.
Auch nach der Abspaltung der "Freien Secession" von der "Berliner Secession" verblieb Corinth in der ursprünglichen Vereinigung und wurde 1915 erneut Vorsitzender und im Folgejahr zum Professor an der Berliner Akademie der Künste ernannt.
1919 erwarben die Corinths den Rückzugsort am bayerischen Walchensee, den zu Corinths in über 60 Bildern festhielt. Auf einer Reise nach Amsterdam zu seinen großen Vorbildern Frans Hals und Rembrandt verstarb Corinth im Jahre 1925.
