Label TextFor the German artist Lovis Corinth drypoint, with its burr yielding a rich, velvety line, became a preferred printmaking technique. He had a deep interest in and drew freely on the art of the past, and carried on the tradition of artistic introspection in the self-portrait, a legacy from Durer and Rembrandt. Corinth, after suffering a stroke in 1911, assumed an economical, rapidly hatched style to express his inner vision of landscapes, portraits, and other traditional subjects.
