Brunch at Frühstück 3000, Lecture & Lovis Corinth Exhibition

About

A stroke that changed his painting forever. 295 works seized by the Nazis as “degenerate art”. A seascape sold for $4.2 million in 2023. And a painting school in Berlin — for women. Join us for a Saturday morning of art, conversation, and good food — followed by a visit to Berlinische Galerie’s major autumn show, “Lovis Corinth: Then Came Berlin!”. 🖼️ About Lovis Corinth Lovis Corinth (1858–1925) moved to Berlin from Munich in 1901 and quickly became one of the most influential figures in the city’s art world. “It didn’t take off until Berlin,” he reputedly said. In 1902 he opened his own art school — where he primarily taught women. In 1911 he suffered a severe stroke. He kept painting — and his work changed: bolder colours, restless brushwork, a move from Impressionism towards Expressionism. Years after his death, the Nazis condemned his art as “degenerate” and confiscated 295 works from public collections. His expressive brushwork went on to shape artists from Berlin’s Junge Wilde to Georg Baselitz and Lucian Freud. 🎨 The Art Talk Over brunch, I’ll walk you through how Corinth bridged two movements: from his early Impressionist portraits and landscapes, close to Max Liebermann, to the expressive colour and dynamic brushwork of his work after 1911 — and how that shift let him show emotional and psychological depth more openly. We’ll also look at his market today: from record prices at auction to works that still don’t find a buyer. 🖼️ What we’ll see at Berlinische Galerie “Lovis Corinth: Then Came Berlin!” is the museum’s major autumn show. It tells the story of Corinth’s rise to fame in Berlin and his huge impact on the city’s art scene — and of the people around him at home. Alongside his famous canvases, the exhibition brings lesser-known sides of Corinth into the spotlight: the painting school where he mostly taught women, and the work he did for Berlin’s theatres. Berlinische Galerie holds a number of outstanding Corinth paintings in its own collection, and the show continues the museum’s series of exhibitions on modernism in Berlin — after Edvard Munch, Ferdinand Hodler, Lotte Laserstein, Jeanne Mammen and Max Beckmann. After the talk, we’ll walk through the exhibition together. We’ll start with brunch at a cosy spot, with time to introduce ourselves and get to know one another. Whether you already love art or are simply curious, you’re warmly welcome. Come on your own or with a friend — there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share impressions, and connect. 📋 **Agenda** 🥐 Brunch, introductions & conversation 🎨 A short art-history talk introducing Lovis Corinth 🖼 Exhibition visit together 📅 **Date & Time:** Saturday, 24 October · 11:30 📍 **Brunch location:** Frühstück 3000 💶 **Participation fee:** €15 — includes the prepared art talk, hosting, and accompanied exhibition visit. 🥐 **Brunch and drinks:** Ordered and paid separately 🎟 **Museum admission:** Paid separately. 📌 **RSVP required — limited spots.** **Event Info & FAQ** 💶 **How do I confirm my place?** Please RSVP here on Meetup.
