Aus dem Tiergarten (View of the Tiergarten) is a 1920 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a dark, tangled forest scene with a bridge cutting across. The trees loom thick and wild, their branches twisted in heavy black lines. A small building sits under the bridge, half-hidden by shadows. The artist used a drypoint technique—scratching lines into a metal plate to create texture. The marks look almost like scribbles, but they build up the scene’s mood. Next, check out drypoint to see how this printing method works.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
