Estimate value
€ 7 800 – 3 900
LOVIS CORINTH (ATTR.) 1858 Tapiau/East Prussia - 1925 Zandvoort Study of the Back Nude (1910) Oil on canvas, relined on cardboard. 25,5 x 31 cm (F. 48 x 53,5 cm). Illegible remains of the signature in the right left corner, and date '1910'. Verso: on the protective cardboard is a page from the newspaper with the article 'Corinth und der alte Fritz. The Genius of the Great Frederick - A previously unknown work by Lovis Corinth'. Yellowed varnish, horizontal craquelure, edges rubbed and detached from the plate in some places. Frame. There is a copy of a letter from 1930 in which the director of the Strasbourg Museum, Mr Hans Haug, reports that the painting entitled ''Nude model, visible up to the shoulders, looking towards a studio window'' is very much a study by Lovis Corinth. The letter also mentions an article pasted on the back of the picture. Lovis Corinth, who remained true to the Expressionist principle of merging art and life, rarely chose professional models. Mostly they are his friends or his relatives. In 1904 he married Charlotte Behrend, and from that year onwards the number of his nudes increased considerably. She became his muse, his favourite model. Observations of her everyday life are not only devoted to his iconic works, but also to numerous drawings and studies in which he succeeds in overcoming the artificiality of nude painting and a sense of tension. The oil study presented to us is also characterised by immediacy and intimacy, which the author achieves with minimalist techniques and laconic forms. Literature: The Paintings of Lovis Corinth.

LOVIS CORINTH (ATTR.) 1858 Tapiau/Ostpreußen - 1925 Zandvoort Studie zum Rückenakt (1910) Öl auf Leinwand, maroufliert auf Karton. 25,5 x 31 cm (R. 48 x 53,5 cm). unleserliche Reste der Signatur in der rechten linken Ecke sowie Datum '1910'. Verso: auf dem Schutzkarton befindet sich eine Seite aus der Zeitung mit dem Artikel 'Corinth und der alte Fritz. Das Genie des Grossen Friedrich - Ein bisher unbekanntes Werk von Lovis Corinth'. Firnis vergilbt, waagerechte Krakelee, Kanten berieben und an einigen Stellen von der Platte abgelöst. Rahmen. Es liegt eine Kopie eines Briefes aus dem Jahr 1930 vor, in dem der Direktor des Straßburger Museums, Herr Hans Haug, berichtet, dass das Bild mit dem Titel "Nacktes Modell, bis zu den Schultern sichtbar, zu einem Atelier Fenster hinzublickt" sehr wohl eine Studie von Lovis Corinth ist. In dem Brief wird auch ein Artikel erwähnt, der auf der Rückseite des Bildes aufgeklebt ist. Lovis Corinth, der dem expressionistischen Prinzip der Verschmelzung von Kunst und Leben treu bleibt, wählt selten professionelle Modelle. Meistens sind es seine Freunde oder seine Verwandten. Im Jahr 1904 heiratete er Charlotte Behrend, von diesem Jahr an nahm die Zahl seiner Aktbilder deutlich zu. Sie wird seine Muse, sein Lieblingsmodell. Beobachtungen ihres Alltags sind nicht nur seinen ikonischen Werken gewidmet, sondern auch zahlreichen Zeichnungen und Studien, in denen es ihm gelingt, die Künstlichkeit der Aktmalerei und ein Gefühl der Spannung zu überwinden. Auch die uns vorliegende Ölstudie ist von Unmittelbarkeit und Intimität geprägt, die der Autor mit minimalistischen Techniken und lakonischen Formen erreicht.
