Reinecke Mit Frau Und Kindern, Stolz Über Seine Erhöhung Zum Kanzler Des Reiches 1920

Lovis Corinth made this print, Reinecke Mit Frau Und Kindern, Stolz Über Seine Erhöhung Zum Kanzler Des Reiches, using lithography. It's a wild scene with this fox guy and his family. The loose, scribbly marks and the limited color palette—mostly reds, blacks, and blues—give it a raw, immediate feel, like he's just letting it all spill out onto the paper. Look at how the black ink clumps together to form the fox's fur, there's a real physicality to it, almost like you can feel the texture. Corinth isn't trying to hide the process, he's embracing it. It reminds me of some of the raw energy you see in the work of someone like Grosz, but with a touch more humor. Ultimately it's a reminder that art isn't about perfection, it's about capturing a feeling, a moment, a bit of the messy truth of life.
