Heads of Children 1914

"Heads of Children" is a 1914 drawing by German Expressionist artist Lovis Corinth. The piece features four sketches of children's heads, rendered in charcoal and a loose, expressive style. Corinth is known for his dramatic use of line and bold brushstrokes, which are evident in the confident and slightly exaggerated features of the children. This drawing showcases Corinth's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects rather than achieving photographic realism. It is a prime example of his signature style, characterized by raw emotion and dynamic compositions.
