Arno Holz by Lovis Corinth is a portrait painting created by the German artist Lovis Corinth in 1925. The artwork depicts Arno Holz, a prominent German naturalist writer and poet, who was known for his contributions to literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Holz was a key figure in the Naturalism movement, which sought to depict life with scientific objectivity and attention to detail.

Lovis Corinth, the painter, was a leading figure in German Impressionism and later Expressionism. His works often combined elements of realism with bold, expressive brushstrokes, reflecting his evolving style throughout his career. By the time Corinth painted this portrait, he had already established himself as one of the most significant artists of his era, known for his portraits, landscapes, and historical scenes.

The painting captures Holz in a seated position, with a contemplative expression. Corinth's use of loose, dynamic brushstrokes and a rich color palette is evident in the work, showcasing his mature style. The portrait is notable for its psychological depth, as it conveys not only Holz's physical appearance but also a sense of his intellectual and emotional character. The background is rendered in a way that emphasizes the subject, with muted tones that do not detract from the figure of Holz.

This portrait is significant as it represents the intersection of two important cultural figures of early 20th-century Germany—Holz in literature and Corinth in visual art. It also reflects Corinth's ability to capture the essence of his subjects, making his portraits stand out as both artistic and historical documents.

The painting is currently housed in the collection of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (State Museums in Berlin), where it is preserved as part of Germany's cultural heritage. It remains an important example of Corinth's portraiture and a testament to the artistic and literary achievements of the period.
