This 50 Pfennig stamp, issued by Deutsche Bundespost Berlin in 1975, honors the German painter Lovis Corinth (1858–1925). The design reproduces one of Corinth’s intense self-portraits, showcasing his hallmark expressive brushwork and bold color palette. A leading figure of German Impressionism and Expressionism, Corinth bridged classical technique with modern emotional depth. The stamp commemorates the 50th anniversary of his death, reflecting post-war Germany’s renewed appreciation for early modern art and cultural identity.
