- Self Portrait As A Soldier
Original artwork description
On this painting you see me taking in a self portrait as a soldier by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. This is a powerful Expressionist painting from 1915 that critiques the trauma and devastation of World War I through symbolism rather than a literal depiction of war.
The most prominent symbol is the bandaged, bleeding stump where Kirchner's right hand should be, representing both his inability to paint and a broader loss of function, function as an artist as a result of the psychological impact of the war.
Self Portrait As A Soldier is an original, 100% handmade painting and comes with a hand signed Certificate of Authenticity. The painting is signed on the front and back.
