"Selbstkontrolle" (Self-Control) is a compelling and introspective painting by the German expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, created in 1915. Kirchner, a founding member of the influential Die Brücke (The Bridge) group, is renowned for his vivid and emotionally charged works that often explore themes of modernity, urban life, and psychological depth. "Selbstkontrolle" stands as a significant piece within Kirchner's oeuvre, reflecting his personal struggles and the broader existential anxieties of the early 20th century.

The painting is notable for its raw and intense portrayal of the human condition, characterized by Kirchner's distinctive use of bold colors, dynamic compositions, and expressive brushwork. In "Selbstkontrolle," Kirchner delves into the theme of self-restraint and the internal conflict between desire and discipline. The work is marked by a sense of tension and unease, with the figures depicted in a state of psychological turmoil. This is accentuated by the distorted forms and exaggerated features, which are hallmarks of Kirchner's style and the expressionist movement as a whole.

Kirchner's personal life and experiences heavily influenced "Selbstkontrolle." During the time of its creation, he was grappling with the traumatic effects of World War I and his own mental health issues. The painting can be seen as a reflection of his inner struggles and a commentary on the broader societal upheavals of the era. The sense of alienation and fragmentation in the work mirrors the disillusionment and existential dread that many felt during this tumultuous period.

"Selbstkontrolle" is housed in the collection of the Kirchner Museum Davos in Switzerland, which holds an extensive array of the artist's works. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its powerful emotional impact and its contribution to the expressionist movement. Through "Selbstkontrolle," Kirchner offers a poignant exploration of the human psyche, making it a significant and enduring piece in the history of modern art.
