Lovis Corinth
Der Bildhauer (Portrait des Bildhauers Nikolaus Friedrich)
1912.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in lower left of the image. 101 x 80 cm (39.7 x 31.4 in). [JS].
• Masterfully staged spontaneity: a snapshot-like presentation of a modern artist.
• Both the present "Der Bildhauer", as well as Corinth"s famous self-portraits are painted with great clarity and concentration.
• A fascinating symbiosis of tradition and modernity, allusions to Pygmalion and the painterly anticipation of later photographic self-portraits.
