Bust of a Young Man, Self-portrait (Knabenkopf, Selbstporträt) 1922 - 1923

This self-portrait, created by German artist Walter Gramatté in 1922-1923, is a striking example of Expressionism, a style that emphasizes emotion over objective representation. The etching, titled "Bust of a Young Man, Self-Portrait," features a close-up view of the artist's face, with bold, angular lines capturing the intensity of his gaze and the starkness of his features. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and volume, while the use of color adds a sense of emotionality and depth. This evocative and powerful work showcases Gramatté's unique style and his ability to capture the inner world of his subject.
