Selbstporträt 1980

"Selbstporträt" (1980) by Siegfried Zademack is a surrealist self-portrait that juxtaposes the artist with a classical sculpture. Zademack, known for his exploration of identity and the human condition, presents a complex and evocative image. The artist's body is depicted in a contemporary setting while embracing the marble bust, representing a clash between modernity and tradition. The image evokes a sense of introspection and a yearning for connection. The distorted perspective, the artist's gaze directed inwards, and the sculpture's disembodied form further emphasize the exploration of selfhood.
