German artist Lovis Corinth (1858-1925) built a successful career toward the end of the nineteenth century as a naturalistic painter and print maker. In 1911 a stroke left him partly paralyzed. Corinth's style changed after the stroke, both in manner and subject. Narrative and genre pictures gave way to meditations on nature and death. Tightly controlled draftsmanship loosened into an expressionistic style of such rough conviction that the Nazis later removed Lovis Corinth's work from German galleries and museums as "degenerate." These late works are now the foundation of the artist's posthumous reputation, which stands high among scholars and curators, though still beneath the radar of the wider world's awareness.
