Her work focuses on the psychological state of her subjects. In The Dancer Anita Berber, she captures the intensity of the Weimar era performance scene. She used bold brushwork and a specific colour palette to define form. Her portraits, such as the Portrait of Ludwig Kraft and Portrait of Dr. Georg Zondek, avoid formal stiffness. Instead, they present a candid view of Berlin intellectual circles. She often painted her family and peers with a sense of familiarity. This approach allowed her to document the personal lives of the German avant-garde.

Modern collectors value Berend-Corinth for her directness and her role in German Expressionism. Her paintings offer a window into the social history of early twentieth-century Germany. The works feel contemporary because they prioritise character over decoration. Her ability to record the personality of her sitters makes these prints clear additions to modern interiors. These pieces remain relevant for their honest depiction of human identity.
