Others apply their talents to different styles as their artistic approach changes. If we&#8217;re lucky, the latter leave us with a remarkable collection of works that spans tastes and genres. The German painter, Lovis Corinth (1858 &#8211; 1925), is one such artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered one of Germany&#8217;s greatest painters of the late 19th and early 20th century, Corinth&#8217;s legacy derives partly from his output but also from his role in the artistic community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1892, for example, Corinth co-founded the Munich Succession artist association that broke with the traditional conservative approaches of the time. That same group provided the inspiration for the establishment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/footsteps\/secession\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2119\">Vienna Secession<\/a> by Klimt and others in 1897.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After leaving Munich, Corinth joined the Berlin Secession, rising to become one of its most acclaimed members and to take leading positions (including that of chairperson) in the organisation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corinth&#8217;s life saw painting in Europe grow out from, for example, 19th-century realism to produce impressionism, expressionism and the rise of modernism; the Belvedere exhibition follows Corinth on his parallel journey through an equivalent artistic evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inevitably, then, Corinth&#8217;s work covered a diversity of approaches that often defy easy classification, where an erotic painting of a young woman might hang next to a homely family portrait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The influence on Corinth&#8217;s oeuvre of changes in both technique and his perspectives on life form a core context for the exhibition as curator Alexander Klee explores the development of the painter&#8217;s style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Admire Corinth&#8217;s works from June 18th, 2021 to October 3rd, 2021. A ticket to Upper Belvedere includes access to the exhibition. A sightseeing pass (like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/vienna-pass-review\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3960\">Vienna Pass<\/a>) can also get you inside once for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(If you miss the exhibition, you can also view it a little later at the Saarlandmuseum in Saarbr\u00fccken, Germany.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While at Belvedere, you may be able to catch other temporary art exhibitions at the same location, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/hohenbuechler-exhibition\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"29963\">Hohenb\u00fcchler installation<\/a> (until September 12th, 2021) in the Carlone Hall, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/wall-rainbows\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"30873\">Rainbow Wall<\/a> installation outside in the gardens (until November 1st, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upper Belvedere also has the art museum&#8217;s main permanent exhibition with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/gustav-klimt-belvedere\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3544\">Klimts<\/a> and other masterpieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another excellent location in Vienna for the Corinth era of painting is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/albertina\/\">Albertina<\/a> art museum (particularly their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/albertina-art\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2999\">permanent exhibition<\/a>: <em>Monet to Picasso.
