- Synopsis
- Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's Self-Portrait as Soldier is one of the best-known self-portraits of the modern classical period. With its sharp foreground focus on the uniformed artist's bloody amputated hand, the painting has long been interpreted as a vehement protest against war, specifically World War I and Kirchner's participation in it.
