"Selbstbildnis Mit Griffel" (Self-Portrait with Stylus) is a notable work by the German painter Max Beckmann, created in 1918. Beckmann, an influential figure in the Expressionist movement, is renowned for his intense and often introspective self-portraits, which provide a window into his complex psyche and the turbulent times in which he lived. This particular self-portrait is a striking example of his mature style, characterized by bold lines, dramatic contrasts, and a deep sense of psychological depth.

The work was created during a pivotal period in Beckmann's life, shortly after his traumatic experiences as a medical orderly during World War I. The war had a profound impact on Beckmann, leading to a nervous breakdown and a subsequent shift in his artistic approach. "Selbstbildnis Mit Griffel" reflects this transformation, showcasing a more introspective and existential outlook. In the portrait, Beckmann depicts himself with a stylus, a tool traditionally associated with writing or drawing, symbolizing his role as an artist and commentator on the human condition.

The composition is marked by its stark, almost confrontational presentation of the artist. Beckmann's gaze is direct and unflinching, engaging the viewer with a sense of immediacy and intensity. The use of dark, heavy lines and a limited color palette enhances the dramatic effect, creating a sense of tension and unease. This self-portrait not only captures Beckmann's physical likeness but also conveys a deeper, more introspective exploration of his identity and the existential questions that preoccupied him.

"Selbstbildnis Mit Griffel" is housed in the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, where it continues to be a significant piece for understanding Beckmann's oeuvre and the broader context of early 20th-century art. The work remains a powerful testament to Beckmann's skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey profound emotional and psychological states through his art.
