Lovis Corinth (21 July 1858 – 17 July 1925) was one of the leading German painter-artists of the Berlin Secession; he painted mainly portraits and landscapes in a dynamic gesture and with a vibrant use of color. He realized a synthesis of Impressionism and Expressionism.

Quotes of Lovis Corinth
- In the autumn of 1884 I went to Paris. The spirit that greeted me was certainly more impressive than in Germany. I studied in a famous school. The French who I met there seemed to me not at all equipped. Traditional views. I was there for three years. I never found a talent. Among the Germans, in particular at the Academy of Munich, there was a lot more momentum. I admire the French painting from Watteau to Monet, otherwise there is nothing that can be said to be exceptional.
- Quote, 1923; in Lovis Corinth, Selbstbiographie, L. Corinth; Hirzel, Leipzig, 1926, p. 190; as quoted in: German Artists' Writings in the XX Century - Lovis Corinth, Autobiographic Writings. Part two
- My conscious motivation was to bring German art up to the highest level. I saw what the French artists could do since some time, we could do much more. I spoke in front of our youth, I can say with success.
- Quote, 1923; in Lovis Corinth, Selbstbiographie, L. Corinth; Hirzel, Leipzig, 1926, p. 189; as quoted in: German Artists' Writings in the XX Century - Lovis Corinth, Autobiographic Writings. Part two
- he wrote this quote in 1923 - the year of a retrospective exhibition of great success for him
- Diseases, a paralysis of the left side, a monstrous right hand tremor strengthened by the efforts by the needle [for engraving] and caused by previous excesses with alcohol, prevent me from doing any calligraphic craftsmanship. A constant effort to achieve my goal - I've never reached the degree hoped - has exacerbated my life, and every job has ended with the depression of having to go on with this life.
- Quote, 1923; in Lovis Corinth, Selbstbiographie, L. Corinth; Hirzel, Leipzig, 1926, p. 194; as quoted in: German Artists' Writings in the XX Century - Lovis Corinth, Autobiographic Writings. Part two
