Wilhelm Morgner's "Selbstbildnis" (Self-Portrait) stands as a significant work within the oeuvre of the early 20th-century German expressionist painter. Born in 1891 in Soest, Germany, Morgner was a prolific artist whose career, though tragically cut short by his death in World War I, left an indelible mark on the expressionist movement. "Selbstbildnis" is a testament to Morgner's introspective exploration and his innovative approach to form and color.

Created in the early 1910s, "Selbstbildnis" exemplifies Morgner's distinctive style, characterized by bold lines, vibrant colors, and a dynamic composition that reflects the emotional intensity of the artist. The self-portrait captures Morgner's visage with a raw and unfiltered honesty, offering a window into his psyche. His use of exaggerated features and stark contrasts not only highlights his technical prowess but also his ability to convey deeper psychological and emotional states.

Morgner was heavily influenced by the avant-garde movements of his time, including Fauvism and Cubism, which is evident in the abstract and fragmented nature of "Selbstbildnis." The painting eschews realistic representation in favor of a more symbolic and expressive approach, aligning with the broader goals of the expressionist movement to evoke subjective experiences and inner turmoil.

"Selbstbildnis" also reflects Morgner's engagement with spiritual and mystical themes, a recurring motif in his work. The intensity of his gaze and the almost otherworldly quality of the composition suggest a search for deeper meaning and self-understanding, resonating with the existential questions that preoccupied many artists of his generation.

Despite his brief career, Morgner's contributions to modern art have been increasingly recognized, and "Selbstbildnis" remains a poignant reminder of his talent and the potential that was lost with his untimely death in 1917. Today, his works, including this self-portrait, are celebrated for their innovative spirit and emotional depth, securing his legacy as a pivotal figure in German expressionism.
