Charlotte Berend-Corinth

Charlotte Berend-Corinth was a German painter born on May 25, 1880, in Berlin, and she passed away on January 10, 1967, in New York City. She was a prominent figure in the German Expressionist movement and was notably associated with the Berlin Secession, an influential group of artists who sought to challenge the conservative art establishment of the time. Berend-Corinth was married to the renowned painter Lovis Corinth, and her work often reflected the vibrant and emotive style characteristic of Expressionism. Her contributions to art include a diverse range of portraits and genre scenes, which were celebrated for their dynamic composition and bold use of color. Throughout her career, she played a significant role in promoting modern art in Germany, and her legacy is marked by her dedication to both her own artistic practice and the support of her husband's career. Her emigration to the United States in 1933, due to the rise of the Nazi regime, marked a significant transition in her life and work.
