Ernst Fuchs's 1984 painting, "SELF-PORTRAIT AS ALI MIRZA," is a striking example of his signature Surrealist style. The artwork depicts the artist as a Turkish nobleman, Ali Mirza, adorned in a flamboyant red turban and rich robes. Fuchs's distinctive use of bold colors and dramatic brushstrokes creates a dreamlike atmosphere, emphasizing the psychological and symbolic aspects of the self-portrait. The painting reflects Fuchs's fascination with history, mythology, and the human psyche, which he explored through his artistic practice.
