Lovis Corinth's contemporaries

The image depicts two individuals from the waist up. The person on the left has a round face and is slightly behind the person on the right who has a slightly elongated face. Both individuals appear to be seated and have short, neatly combed hair. They have neutral facial expressions and their features are indistinct. The person on the left wears a suit with a bow tie, while the person on the right is dressed in clothing with detailed patterns and holds a flower-like object in their left hand. The background shows simple line sketches that suggest an interior setting.
Wrestlers in a Circus, by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1909
Seated Female Nude (Self-Portrait?), by Paula Modersohn-Becker, c. 1899
This is a drawing of a rustic interior scene. The artwork depicts an interior where a table is surrounded by chairs. On the table, there is a bowl, as the individuals appear to be interacting or reaching towards it. In the background, livestock and chickens are visible, suggesting the environment is possibly a farm or a barn with a dining space. The use of soft lines and shading creates a warm, intimate, and slightly somber atmosphere within the image, with light and shadow playing an important role in highlighting the subjects and their surroundings.
Mountain Landscape with Fir Trees, by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, 1918/19
The image shows a residential area with barren trees, rooftops of houses, and people walking along fences. The trees sway in the wind, their branches extending in various directions. The scene is depicted in a monochromatic black and white style, with expressive lines creating a sense of movement and a sketch-like quality. The horizon is high, showing rooftops and the sun above it.

The works in this room are listed below.
