Abstract:
The 20th Century German Expressionist movement brought with it a proliferation of artists: E.L. Kirchner, Oskar Kokoshka, and Wassily Kandinsky. Their primary focus was on internal life and emotion.1 During this period of artistic expression there was an abundance of portraiture; the self-portrait became a means for the artist to explore the psyche, and the newly introduced theories of psychoanalysis became popular tools of the German artist.
