George T. M. Shackelford, deputy director, Kimbell Art Museum
Lovis Corinth (1858-1925) was a superstar in Germany in the first decades of the twentieth century—the president of the influential Berlin Secession, honored with retrospective exhibitions and honorary degrees. Under the National Socialists, his works suffered a peculiar fate: the early paintings maintained their status as modern masterworks, while his later, more experimental paintings were seized as “degenerate art” and sold or destroyed. George Shackelford will explore his life and work—between splendor and misery.
