The Fall of Man (Der Sündenfall)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

Bold black shapes and lines form two human-like figures engaged with a tall, twisting column at the center of the composition. The interaction of light and dark areas creates textured patterns. The curving lines and shapes evoke silhouettes of people dancing or gazing towards each other. The background is filled with expressive, radiating lines.
