Label TextFor the German artist Lovis Corinth, drypoint, with its burr yielding a rich, velvety line, became a preferred printmaking technique. He also had a deep interest in and drew freely on the art of the past. Corinth, after suffering a stroke in 1911, chose to change his style and assumed an economical, rapidly hatched technique to express his inner visions of landscapes, portraits, and other traditional subjects.
