Armor in the Studio 1918

"Armor in the Studio" is a 1918 painting by German Expressionist painter Lovis Corinth. The work depicts a suit of armor lying on the floor of an artist's studio. The armor is rendered in a dark, shadowy palette, with thick, expressive brushstrokes. The composition is dynamic and energetic, with the armor appearing to be thrown into the studio, suggesting an unexpected encounter with history. Corinth was known for his bold and expressive use of color and brushwork, which he used to convey a sense of emotional intensity and psychological depth in his subjects. "Armor in the Studio" is a prime example of his style, capturing the turmoil and uncertainty of the post-World War I era.
