1923
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Walchensee mit Jochberg (Walchensee with Jochberg) is a 1923 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a jagged mountain range under a sky full of quick, tangled lines. The black ink looks like scribbles, but it forms shapes—peaks, valleys, and a dark lake below. The paper is light, almost white, making the ink stand out sharply. The artist used a drypoint technique, where lines are scratched into a metal plate to create texture. This method makes the marks look rough and urgent, like quick sketches. Next, check out Corinth, Lovis to see how his later work shifted from bright colors to darker, simpler lines.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
