Lovis Corinth. Dann kam Berlin!
In the organizer's words:
Lovis Corinth's importance for modernism can hardly be overestimated. Even during his lifetime, the virtuoso painter (1858-1925) was one of the best-known and most influential personalities on the Berlin art scene. Born and raised in Tapiau in East Prussia, he moved from Munich to Berlin in 1900. At this time, the imperial capital was already much more progressive and lively than the Bavarian capital. "It all began in Berlin," Corinth is said to have commented on his success story on the Spree.
The major exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie focuses on Corinth's stellar career and his great influence on the city's art scene, as well as his formative private environment. Less well-known themes, to which separate chapters are dedicated, also show how modern the artist painted, lived and thought: Corinth's painting school, where he mainly taught women, and his work for the Berlin theater. To this day, Corinth's position stands for a spontaneous, expressive use of brush and paint, which had a decisive influence on the development of painting. One thinks of the Berlin Junge Wilde, but also of Georg Baselitz or the English artist Lucien Freud.
The Berlinische Galerie owns a collection of high-quality paintings by the artist. With this exhibition, it is exploring its own collection and expanding its successful series of monographic exhibitions on Berlin Modernism, including Edvard Munch in 2023, Ferdinand Hodler in 2021, Lotte Laserstein in 2019, Jeanne Mammen in 2017 and Max Beckmann in 2015.
