an unabashed look: self-portraiture

I assume that art is the manifesto of the human condition, and I assume that self-portraiture is the daring side of it.
A self-portrat is an observation, a study, a fantasy, a prophecy, a narration of a metaphysical journey..
A self-portrait is a complaint, a scream, a desire, a plea..

Here is one of my favourite self-portraits, a painting by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner...
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was an outstanding expressionist painter from Germany. He commited suicide in 1938, at the age of 58.
