尖筆を持つ自画像、『顔』より第19図
1917
Max Beckmann stares right at you with wide, haunted eyes in this intense 1917 self-portrait. Created during the horrors of World War I—where he served as a medical orderly and suffered a nervous breakdown—the jagged, scratchy lines of this drypoint etching perfectly capture his anxiety. He's holding a stylus, the sharp tool used to carve images directly into metal plates, essentially showing us the weapon of his trade as he processed the trauma of the world around him. This piece is part of a portfolio called 'Faces', a raw exploration of the psychological toll of war.
