Lovis Corinth was a German painter; one of the most important representatives of German Impressionism and Expressionism. Today he is regarded as one of the "Classics of Modern Art" and his works are exhibited in the most important museums and galleries of the German-speaking world. His early work was naturalistic in approach. Corinth was initially antagonistic towards the expressionist movement; but after a stroke in 1911 his style loosened and took on many expressionistic qualities. His use of color became more vibrant; and he created portraits and landscapes of extraordinary vitality and power. Corinths subject matter also included nudes and biblical scenes. He painted numerous self-portraits; and made a habit of painting one every year on his birthday.

A Glimpse of the pastBy SethA great source of information about early Lansing. Too bad that so many of these buildings are gone and hardly any of the old homes were saved.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A fine pictorial history of my former hometownBy MFANI grew up in Lansing but havent lived there since 1959. This book is just what I hoped it would be: A most engaging pictorial history of my former hometown. I especially enjoyed seeing (and reading about)the earlier versions of buildings and other sites with which I was familiar during my youthful days in the 1950s. It was a fun read for me!
