Source Description
After suffering a stroke in 1911, the German artist Lovis Corinth made numerous self-portraits that exhibit a preoccupation with his own mortality. Corinth created a mood of tension and anxiety by portraying himself in heavy shadow, with eyes staring straight out at the viewer; his marks made in the soft etching ground manifest a nervous energy.
