"Self Portrait As Soldier" is a famous self-portrait by the Expressionism artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. In this oft-reproduced work, a gaunt uniformed Kirchner presents his own severed arm to the viewer, an allusion to the terror of artistic impotence and, ultimately, of death.


The presence of a nude female model behind him extends the metaphor to include the possibility of castration, the fear of which would be particularly powerful given Kirchner’s conflation of sexual prowess, cultural liberation, and aesthetic achievement.

"Self Portrait As Soldier" is a famous self-portrait by the Expressionism artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. In this oft-reproduced work, a gaunt uniformed Kirchner presents his own severed arm to the viewer, an allusion to the terror of artistic impotence and, ultimately, of death. The presence of a nude female model behind him extends the metaphor to include the possibility of castration, the fear of which would be particularly powerful given Kirchner’s conflation of sexual prowess, cultural liberation, and aesthetic achievement.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a German expressionist painter and printmaker and one of the founders of the group Die Brücke or "The Bridge", a key group leading to the foundation of Expressionism in 20th-century art.   Kirchner believed that powerful forces - enlivening yet also destructive - dwelt beneath the veneer of Western civilization, and he believed that creativity offered a means of harnessing them.
