You’re right about “Female Artist.” It could have been painted yesterday. Do you know his self-portraits? In a particularly harrowing one, he wears his military uniform and is missing a hand.

Yes! I LOVE his self portraits! I was debating using one here, but I find his paintings of the city and women so fascinating so I figured I’d have to write about those another time. But I know the exact one your talking about and I was completely struck by it.

I was afraid to click into this one because I really don't have a clue what brat is, but damn it was worth it. Beautiful write-up and thank you for showing me Kirchner works that I had never seen before.

Hahaha you know I tried to figure out what brat is too and I’m still not sure. It was just such a funny phrase. And thank you for your kind words! Kirchner really was incredible.
