Original Description
The Self-portrait by Lovis Corinth (1915) is a striking example of German Expressionism, capturing the artist’s raw introspection and unflinching self-awareness. Painted during his later years after suffering a stroke, the work reveals Corinth’s looser, more gestural brushwork—thick, agitated strokes define his aged face, while shadowy contrasts amplify the psychological depth. Unlike his earlier academic precision, this self-portrait embraces emotional intensity over realism, reflecting both personal vulnerability and Expressionism’s break from tradition. Historically, it marks Corinth’s pivotal shift towards modernism, bridging 19th-century naturalism and 20th-century avant-garde movements. Its visceral honesty makes it a landmark in self-representation, echoing contemporaries like Kokoschka yet retaining Corinth’s distinct lyrical turbulence.
For display, this Self-portrait thrives in a contemplative space—a study, library, or executive office—where its drama sparks conversation without overwhelming. Opt for a minimalist backdrop: dark walnut shelving or matte-gray walls to ground its stormy palette. Frame it in a gilded Baroque-style frame (no wider than 3 inches) to honor its historical roots while letting the brushwork dominate. At 80 × 70 cm (common for Corinth’s portraits), it suits medium-sized walls; avoid crowding with other art, but pair with muted abstract sculptures or a single Art Nouveau lamp to echo its era. Lighting is key: angled spotlights enhance the texture, while warm ambient tones balance its cool shadows. The painting’s emotional weight makes it ideal for spaces valuing depth over decoration.
