lures in the secession every year. Corinth
welded her, and he has now two tough
faced Prussian children. Domesticity
soon began to show itself In Corinth' s
art. and it was this which led to the
conclusion that this painter, formerly
merely known as coarse" was condemned
as quite disreputable. He began by paint
ing himself as Bacchus. He went on like
Rubens-whom he resembles In a Prus-
sian way--to paint himself with his wife.
And he painted himself and his wife in
the nude. Not both together nude--even
Prussian art has limits.
\ But he painted himself as knight in
armor gripping with steel-gloved fin
gers the shoulder of his wife, who is
naked from the waist up. He called it
"The Conqueror." A second picture
shows similar motive. Here Corintii
is dressed in his ordinary artists garb;
he is leaning against his wife, holding
tipsily in his left hand full cham
pagne glass. And the modest seces-
sionist catalog called it "A Portrait OF
Self" Corinth sometimes prefers to
dress his wife; and to. paint himself
naked. There are some admirable

Herr Paul Cassirer, who is a dealer in

all this weighs heavily on Corinth, who

AT this blow to the secession respec-
table citizens, from Kaiser Wilhelm down.
are highly pleased. They abhor the inde-
pendent, anarchical artists who ii years
ago broke away from the official acade-

just mems sides. True, the secession now
includes nearly every painter of talent:
Dut tndt only aRgraVateS It's SIN. 1t dareS
to differ from the duh professional acad-
emy. which Wilhelm ceremonially opens
every spring, while he does not even look
in at the secession. Where the mild
academy hangs smoothly-limned paintings
of ''Venice by Moonlight" and "Amelia's
First kiss" the full-blooded secession
hangs impressionist brilliant daubs nf
"Laundress PAIRING Fingernails;" and
beefy, blood-red studies of ladies in slight
attire being adored by tipsy wagoners in
full modern dress. Naturally such things
are shameful; naturally the respectable
citizens goes to the official academy and
averts his eyes when he passed the build
ing In Kurfuerstendamm.
The head and front of the secession's
offense is Louis Corinth Corinth is
essentially the painter of Prussia and
when his friends praise him-and his foes
condemn him-for painting, for instance,
fat lady pulling entrails out of sheep,
both agree that he chooses such subjects
because he Is "a genuine Prussian! In
all that he paints. etches and writes they
see the soul of a tough. solid hurgher
from the Baltic coast: a ruthless man
and fighter; man who worships truth,
however hatnosed she is; a full-blooded,
pugnacious. coarse, poetical Prussan,
who does not care twopence for what the
respectable think: a man primed with
vitriolic derision for Venice by Moon
light" who were he asked TO paint ''The
First Kiss" would paint his herculean
self naked to the waist. embracing a
stout charwoman armed with a scrubbng
brush.
That is the style of Louis Corinth, king
of secessionists and daringest Of painters.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-09

Corinth was born in 1858 at Tapiau, IN
east Prussia, from stout farmer father,
who married a stout farmer widow older
than himself. When little Louis was sent
to school at Konigsberg, the other boys
laughed at his raw country accent, and
promptly ceased laughing when they felt
little Louis fist. For Louis was then as
strong as young pony, and today he
measure es six feet in height and nearly
as many feet around the chest Louis'
proud father looked admlringly at his
biceps, and said he must be professor,
but when Louis said he would be a
painter the father gave way.
Corinths first lessons in drawing were
given by a friendly carpenter. Later he
went to Konigsberg Art academy, and
studied hard. While his colleagues (stin
dersve at his country accent) were learn
ing to draw Venice by Moonlight" and
"Amelia's First Kiss" Independent Louis
formed friendship with butcher, who
took him daily to his slaughter house.
That was real life, and youthful Corinth
gained the taste for drawing dripping
carcasses which lasts to this day, and
accounts for his picture, "A Butchers
Shop INTERIOR which the critic, Debber
says makes him feel hungry When
