Lovis Corinth über die Schulter geschaut

In the organizer's words:

Lovis Corinth's sketchbooks were never really intended for other eyes. The drawings tell us a lot about him personally. They show places he visited, people he was close to, moments he wanted to capture as memories. Perhaps similar to photos on our cell phones. At the same time, however, the sketchbooks also reveal the origins of Corinth's art. Some of the observations he collected inspired him and ultimately found their way into his paintings. Corinth jotted down his first ideas for paintings in the notebooks and tinkered with their compositions.

In the workshop, we will take a close look at Corinth's drawings and his paintings in the exhibition "Lovis Corinth - Bildrausch". We will not only immerse ourselves in his biography, but also observe his artistic creative process in particular. Among other things, we clarify what exactly the term "quick painter" means. During our tour of the exhibition, we will repeatedly pick up a pencil ourselves. Small drawing exercises help us to get closer to Corinth's art. Bit by bit we will fill our own, highly personal sketchbook.
