The Fall of Man (Der Sündenfall)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

The image features abstract sweeping and jagged lines that form indistinct shapes. Amidst the brushstrokes, the shapes vaguely resemble human-like forms interacting. Their elongated limbs and postures suggest movement. The swirling lines add texture, reminiscent of flowing fabrics or organic forms.
