Aus Dem Tiergarten (From the Tiergarten) is a 1920 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a serene riverscape with a bridge and buildings. It's interesting because the artist used drypoint to create texture. The monochromatic palette adds to the moody atmosphere, and the bridge is a key part of the scene. The artist's use of drypoint is notable, as it's a technique that involves scratching a design into a plate. You can learn more about this technique by looking into chiaroscuro.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
