Original Description
Lovis Corinth’s Letztes Selbstportrat (Last Self-Portrait), painted in 1925, is a raw and introspective depiction of the artist’s aging face, marked by expressive brushstrokes and emotional depth. Created during his later years after suffering a stroke, Corinth’s self-portrait reveals vulnerability and defiance—thick, tactile layers of paint capturing sagging skin and piercing eyes with unflinching honesty. The work embodies German Expressionism’s emotional intensity, blending loose, almost chaotic strokes with a structured composition that commands attention. Historically, it’s regarded as Corinth’s poignant farewell to life and art, cementing his legacy as a bridge between Impressionism and Expressionism. Unlike idealized portraits, this piece confronts mortality head-on, making it a profound study of human fragility and artistic perseverance.
For display, Letztes Selbstportrat thrives in contemplative spaces—a study, private office, or art-filled living room—where its emotional gravity can resonate. Pair it with modern or industrial interiors to contrast its rawness against sleek surfaces, or within a vintage-German aesthetic for thematic cohesion. Opt for warm, muted walls (taupe or slate gray) to balance its intense palette, avoiding overly bright or patterned backdrops. A medium-to-large frame (around 24x30 inches) ensures visibility without overwhelming; consider a simple dark wood or oxidized metal frame to honor its Expressionist roots. Position it at eye level under focused, adjustable lighting to accentuate its textured brushwork, creating a striking focal point that invites reflection.
