Umarmung 1915

"Umarmung" (Embrace) is a 1915 etching by the German artist Lovis Corinth (1858-1925). The artwork features a passionate embrace between a man and a woman, their bodies intertwined in a tangle of limbs. Corinth's use of dark, expressive lines and heavy shading creates a sense of urgency and emotion. The subject matter and bold style of the work are characteristic of Corinth's later period, when he embraced a more expressive and personal approach to art. "Umarmung" is a powerful testament to the intensity of human connection and the artist's masterful use of printmaking techniques.
