Wie ein "Donnerwetter" : das Geburtstagsbild von Lovis Corinth für seine Frau Charlotte aus dem Jahre 1911 : vom memento mori zum memento vivere, oder, Die Überwindung der Tradition
Discusses two paintings of 1911 by Corinth: Birthday Picture (Cologne, Wallraf-Richartz-Museum) and Hymn to Michelangelo (Munich, Lenbachhaus). Argues that both pictures are anti-academic in program. In the first picture Corinth contrasts his wife Charlotte, passionately rendered as a flesh-and-blood Aurora/Venus figure, with a traditional still life of game. In the second he draws a parallel between himself and Michelangelo, a bust of whose Dying Slave is represented amid flowers. Discusses the influence of several artists on Corinth, especially Runge and Ingres, and publishes a description of the genesis of the Birthday Picture from a letter written in 1951 by Corinth's wife.
