Exhibition at the Neue Galerie, New York, 28 February - 24 June 2019
The self-portrait has been a vital aspect of artistic expression throughout history. Neo-Classical painters such as El Greco and Rembrandt formalized the practice, and the first half of the 20th century saw a dramatic transformation in the self-portrait's style and context, especially in the hands of the German and Austrian Expressionists.
In this exhibition catalogue, reproductions of works by Egon Schiele, Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, and others are accompanied by essays that explore how these artists-many of whom were classified as "degenerate" by the Nazi party-imbued their images with eloquent expressions of resistance, isolation, entrapment, and provocation.
