Portrait of the Painter Lovis Corinth
Max Liebermann · 1899
Why it's great
A sturdy man with a stern, serious look sits at his easel, painted in strong dark strokes. Lovis Corinth was a fellow German artist and Liebermann's colleague, though they often disagreed. Liebermann, a leader of the Berlin Secession, painted many portraits of colleagues. It's a fair look at a great painter.
