The book examines the stylistic transformations through the lens of Lovis Corinth's life and
work: The eroticism he addressed at the beginning of his marriage in nude portraits of his
young wife which gradually morphed into the theme of mother and child the children growing up
and the family as a leitmotif in his work but also his own aging which he repeatedly
incorporated in his symbolic vanitas paintings and finally the climax of his oeuvre the
landscape paintings from the Walchensee. Text: Stephanie Auer Dominik Brabant Kathrin
