...photographic reproductions that were spreading art's pernicious messages through popular magazines. Hypocrisy was the order of the day. Thus Albert von Keller's lubricious portrait of a naked woman crucified bears the pious title Martyr, and all those nude beauties frolicking around that white-bearded codger represent Lovis Corinth's Temptation of Saint Anthony. Exotic suggestions of bestiality (as with Salammbo) provided another popular theme. Arthur Wardle's Bacchante cavorts with a whole herd of amorous leopards, and Frederick Stuart Church's Enchantress strolls through the wilderness with two tigers "whose growling jaws suggested the vagina dentata which turn...

Lovis Corinth's Ecce Homo, 1925, was painted in the last year of his life, as he was fighting semiparalysis from a stroke; yet the blunt, stabbing paint marks and the drawing that break from high academic certitude into the quavers of a loaded brush--not to mention the conception of Christ's humiliation before the Jews in contemporary dress, with a German officer as Roman centurion--are grittily eloquent...

This year 1,600 Americans provided logistic and communications support in pitting 4,000 Honduran troops against an imaginary invading "Red army" from a neighboring, equally imaginary country called Corinth...
...never. No such comprehensive view of German art has ever been set before an American public; from the romantic visions and esoteric metaphors of painters like Philipp Otto Runge and Caspar David Friedrich in the first decades of the 19th century, to the robust dash and splash of Lovis Corinth at its end, there are 150 works by 30 artists, and they help fill a gaping hole in our sense of the actual patterns of European culture. The fact, to put it simply, is that German art got left out of American taste on 19th century matters-a taste formed...
