From Quick Marks to Vibrant Images: An Hour of Corinth Insight

A focused thematic tour opens a view into Lovis Corinth's artistic workshop: How does the initial, searching line movement become a pulsating painting? Dr. Mona Stocker, head of the Painting/Sculpture Collection, knowledgeably guides through the exhibition and makes the aesthetic experience between sketchbook and canvas sensually tangible.

Sketches as Thought Space: The Path of Form

The starting point of the artwork consideration are the rarely shown sketchbooks. In them, motif studies, compositional trials, and material tests condense – the laboratory of a painting that later challenges perception with energetic brush strokes and color-saturated areas. Lines converge, contours are interrogated, light-dark settings are tested: Curation and presentation open the eyes to the artistic process.

From Notes to Painting: Color, Light, Space

In the dialogue between drawing and painting, it becomes visible how Corinth allows image spaces to breathe. Walchensee landscapes, portraits, and dramatic scenes like Salome or The Great Martyrdom show how studies prepare the later color architecture, the heightened expressiveness, and the spatial effect. The exhibition atmosphere combines light and sight axes in such a way that transitions between impression and expression become distinctly tangible.

Technique and Temperament: Modernity in Tension

Corinth's position between German Impressionism and expressionist gesture forms the art historical background. After the crisis of the stroke, the brushstroke intensifies, and the matter of color gains autonomy. The tour reveals how drawing discipline, composition theory, and experimental painting technique produce a modern visual language – an illustrative contribution to cultural education.

Conclusion

Those who take the hour will experience a dense artistic experience: drawing as a thought movement, painting as a sensual presence. The tour provides precise contextual knowledge, sharpens the eye, and creates the desire to explore the exhibition independently. Definitely visit live – for a sustainable aesthetic experience.
