Nude Girl, Lovis Corinth — Nude Girl, 1886
Lovis Corinth
Oil on canvas
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Winston 75.72.1
On View in Gallery 351
Born in East Prussia, Lovis Corinth spent almost the entirety of his training and career in Munich and Berlin. However, from 1884-87 the artist - who aspired to be a history painter - studied in Paris at the Académie Julian under the two celebrated artists, Tony Robert-Fleury and Adolphe William Bouguereau. Their teaching focused on life drawing - an approach that was particularly suited to the large figural compositions of history paintings. This life study is one of approximately twenty paintings - mostly nudes - that survive from Corinth's Parisian sojourn.
