|
| This theatrical
self-portrait can be interpreted as a portrait of the artist per se, as an icon which can,
at one and the same time, be both a picture of a saint and a ghostly reflection of the
satanic. |
|
| The dramatic conflict of
the artist who, through the demonic forces of his own crative talent, is forever torn
between self-destructive doubt and the liberating realization of a dream. |
|
| The bold and swift
application of colour - a violent manner of painting so characteristic of Germany's
"Neue Wilde" - lends this potrait an atmosphere of inquietude, thus establishing
a rapport between the theme and its treatment. |
