Charlotte Berend-Corinth belongs to the record of art as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Charlotte Berend-Corinth as German Jewish painter and emigrant from Nazi Germany (1880-1967).
Charlotte Berend-Corinth was born at Berlin in 1880. Her recorded nationality is Germany.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
She worked as painter, model and draftsperson.
Art history is a record of what got kept, which is not the same as what was best.
Her recorded fields of work are painting, art of drawing and lithography.
That the work was done from Germany matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Charlotte Berend-Corinth died in 1967, aged 87. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
