"Lovis Corinth (21 July 1858 – 17 July 1925); German painter and printmaker whose mature work realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism. Corinth studied in Paris and Munich, joined the Berlin Secession group, later succeeding Max Liebermann as the group's president. His early work was naturalistic in approach. Corinth was initially antagonistic towards the expressionist movement, but after a stroke in 1911 his style loosened and took on many expressionistic qualities.

The landscapes he created between 1919-25 are perhaps the most desirable images of his entire graphic oeuvre. He painted numerous self portraits, and made a habit of painting one every year on his birthday as a means of self-examination.
