"Selbstbildnis IV (Schult 285)" is a notable work by the German expressionist sculptor, printmaker, and writer Ernst Barlach. Created in 1928, this self-portrait is part of a series of introspective works that Barlach produced throughout his career, reflecting his deep engagement with themes of human existence, spirituality, and the inner self. Barlach, who is renowned for his evocative and often somber depictions of human figures, uses this self-portrait to explore his own identity and emotional state during a period of significant personal and political turmoil in Germany.

The piece is characterized by its stark, almost raw representation of the artist, capturing a sense of vulnerability and introspection. Barlach's use of bold lines and dramatic contrasts is typical of his expressionist style, which aims to convey emotional depth and intensity rather than realistic detail. The self-portrait reveals Barlach's mastery in using minimalistic yet powerful visual elements to evoke a profound sense of the human condition.

"Selbstbildnis IV" is also significant within the context of Barlach's broader body of work, which often grapples with the existential crises and social upheavals of the early 20th century. His art was deeply influenced by his experiences during World War I and the subsequent political instability in Germany, which is reflected in the somber and contemplative nature of this self-portrait.

Barlach's work, including "Selbstbildnis IV," faced considerable opposition during the Nazi regime, which condemned his art as "degenerate." Despite this, his contributions to modern art have been increasingly recognized and celebrated posthumously. Today, "Selbstbildnis IV" stands as a testament to Barlach's enduring legacy as a profound and introspective artist who delved deeply into the human psyche and the complexities of his time.
