More about this artwork

Walter Kurt Wiemken's "Self-Portrait (1939)" casts a spell of introspective allure and haunting mystique. In this evocative creation, the artist portrays himself in a simple yet striking outdoor setting. Dressed in a green overcoat and matching broad-brimmed hat, Wiemken stands foregrounded against a desolate winter landscape. His face, the focal point of the work, reveals a penetrating gaze that seems to both challenge and invite the viewer into the depths of his thought process.The background is layered with sparse, leafless trees that fade into a misty, undefined horizon. Subtle blue arcs and a solitary red dot amidst the barren branches evoke a sense of surreal, dream-like quality. The choice of a restrained color palette, primarily shades of muted greens, grays, and blues, complements the overall somber and reflective mood of the painting."Self-Portrait (1939)" is a testament to Wiemken’s skillful use of expressionism – distorting reality to evoke emotional truths. It captures not just the artist’s likeness, but his essence at a moment in time, reflecting his inner emotions and the bleakness of the landscape around him.
