"Man with Heart (Self)" is a self-portrait by German artist Walter Gramatté, created in 1918. This Expressionist work depicts the artist with a somber expression, his hands clutching an unseen object, possibly a heart. The dark, muted palette and gestural brushstrokes contribute to the piece's raw and emotional intensity. This work, alongside Gramatté's other pieces, offers insight into his emotional state during the tumultuous era of World War I.
