Vienna holds Corinth's painting exhibition
Adjust font size:

An exhibition entitled "Lovis Corinth: A Feast of Painting" kicked off in Vienna's Belvedere on Tuesday evening, presenting twelve classical oil paintings and two printmakings of the fast painter of the 20th century.

Corinth is so far the only worldwide famous painter from East Prussia. Experts commented that his works are slightly rough and full of wildness, but colorful and energetic. Not belonging to any trend of art of his age, his works have imposed significant influence on German Expressionists in the 1920s, thus are considered the best paintings in the 20th century.

Belvedere also displays other dozens of fine oil paintings of other artists at the same exhibition. Tuesday's opening ceremony attracted about 100 art lovers.

The exhibition will conclude on July 19.
