It is hard to exaggerate Lovis Corinth’s contribution to modernism. In his own lifetime the virtuosic painter (1858–1925) was one of the most eminent and influential figures in the Berlin art world. Born and raised in Tapiau (now Gvardeysk) in East Prussia, he moved to the German capital from Munich in 1900. At that time Berlin was already markedly more progressive and vibrant than the Bavarian royal seat. “It didn’t take off until Berlin,” Corinth reputedly said of his successful career on the Spree.
The Berlinische Galerie is planning a major show for autumn 2026: Lovis Corinth: Then came Berlin! It will focus on Corinth’s stellar rise to fame and his huge impact on the art scene in the city, but also on the role played by his domestic entourage. More information
