Depression, Selbstporträt 1932

"Depression, Selbstporträt" (1932) is a self-portrait by German artist Karl Wiener (1901-1949). The artwork depicts a somber and introspective self-portrait, with the artist's face rendered in a realistic style against a background of muted blues and purples. The painting evokes a sense of melancholy and isolation, possibly reflecting Wiener's personal struggles with depression. This work is a poignant example of Expressionist self-portraiture and offers insight into the artist's inner world during a period of significant social and political upheaval in Germany.
