Label TextA transitional artist between German impressionism and expressionism, Corinth’s practice is characterized by his attention to the human figure. After a stroke in 1911, his brushstrokes grew more gestural. He also exaggerated his sitter’s movements and their physical proximity to the picture plane. Seen here is a portrait of his daughter Wilhelmine at age 15, a year before the death of her father.ProvenanceIn the Corinth family since 1924; presently owned by George Hecker, grandson of the artist Lovis Corinth.On View
