Untitled (Death Mask) 1978

Created in 1978, "Untitled (Death Mask)" by Austrian artist Arnulf Rainer is a striking and evocative piece of art. The artwork depicts a death mask, a plaster cast of a deceased person's face, shrouded in a thick, dark and seemingly tangled mass of lines. The contrasting light and dark tones evoke feelings of both death and mortality, and the overall atmosphere of the piece is one of mystery and intrigue. Rainer was known for his use of self-portraits and body parts in his art, often creating a sense of alienation and discomfort, making this piece a great example of his unique style.
