EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, titled "Susanna im Bade (Susanna in the Bath)" by Lovis Corinth, takes us back to 1914, a time when artistic expression was at its peak. This artwork belongs to the expressive movement of German Expressionism, showcasing Corinth's extraordinary talent. The image depicts Susanna, a biblical figure from the Book of Daniel, immersed in her bath. The artist skillfully captures her vulnerability and sensuality as she indulges in this private moment. Through drypoint technique on laid paper, Corinth brings out intricate details that emphasize both Susanna's nakedness and her inner emotions. Corinth masterfully explores themes of lust and voyeurism within this piece. As we observe Susanna through the eyes of a mysterious male figure lurking behind a curtain or door frame, we are drawn into an intimate act of witnessing without consent. The tension between desire and guilt is palpable as our gaze becomes entangled with that of the blackmailer. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, this print stands as a testament to Corinth's profound understanding of human nature and his ability to provoke contemplation through art. It serves as a reminder that even centuries-old stories can still resonate with contemporary audiences. As we admire "Susanna im Bade" let us reflect on our own desires and vulnerabilities while appreciating Lovis Corinth's timeless contribution to heritage art.
