Hand and Head - Ernst Ludwig Kirchner''s Self-Portrait As Soldier

Zusammenfassung Expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's "Self-Portrait as Soldier" (1915) is one of the best-known self-portraits of the modern classical period. This book considers Kirchner in relation to Albrecht Durer and to arguments on the relative dominance of hand and mind in the pictorial arts that invoke the image of "Raphael without hands".
