Birth of Venus, 1923
Lovis Corinth

The Musée d'Orsay in Paris currently has an exhibition of Lovis Corinth's work. It runs until June 22nd.

Corinth is an artist you can't help but admire. He suffered a stroke and had to switch painting hands. Corinth wasn't quite the same painter after the stroke as before, though after, he was a better artist.

The Birth of Venus is one of his after stroke masterpieces on exhibit. It's a wonderfully odd painting.
