Die Grafische Sammlung des Kunstforums Ostdeutsche Galerie bewahrt zwölf Skizzenbücher Lovis Corinths aus den Jahren 1876 bis 1922/23. Darüber hinaus das »Heiligtum« seiner Familie: ein Album, in das der Künstler frühe Zeichnungen von besonderer persönlicher Bedeutung eingeklebt hat. Die Studien und Entwürfe, die die größtenteils unpublizierten Bücher beinhalten, eröffnen einen Zugang zu allen wesentlichen Schaffensphasen des Künstlers. So ist in den Skizzenbüchern nicht nur Corinths künstlerische Entwicklung von den Studienjahren in Königsberg und München bis hin zu dem virtuosen Walchensee-Skizzenbuch nachvollziehbar, sondern auch der Entwurfsprozess wichtiger Gemälde wie Das Komplott oder Salome. Über die zahlreichen Bezüge zu Malerei und Druckgrafik hinaus lässt sich auf Grundlage des Materials ein neues und umfassendes Bild von Lovis Corinth als Zeichner gewinnen.
Anlässlich von Lovis Corinths 100. Todestag am 17. Juli 2025 werden die Regensburger Skizzenbücher in diesem Band erstmals vollständig wissenschaftlich erschlossen und abgebildet.
Lovis Corinth’s (1858–1925) unique style made him a pioneer of modern art. The Kunstforum Ostdeutsche Galerie (KOG) in Regensburg holds many works of the artist from East Prussia, including twelve sketchbooks and an album of drawings. These provide entirely new and detailed insights into Corinth’s creative process. The exhibition for the 100th anniversary of his death lets us experience how Corinth meticulously prepared his paintings in drawings and oil studies. Examinations of painting technique illustrate the pronounced change in Corinth’s artistic style between his early and late work, while the most recent research findings illuminate the provenance of his paintings in the KOG. Not only Corinth’s artistic development from his years of study in Königsberg (today Kaliningrad) and Munich to the virtuoso Walchensee sketchbook is comprehensible in the sketchbooks, but also the draft process for important paintings like Das Komplott (Conspiracy) or Salome. Beyond the many references to painting and printmaking, a new and comprehensive picture of Lovis Corinth as a draughtsman can also be acquired based on the material. The Regensburg sketchbooks are made thoroughly and scientifically accessible and are being reproduced for the first time.
