The artwork titled “Head of a Man (Self-Portrait)” was created by Otto Dix in 1919. It belongs to the Cubism art movement and falls under the genre of self-portraiture. The artwork is presently housed in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, located in Stuttgart, Germany.
The artwork features a fragmented and geometric portrayal of a man’s head, indicative of the Cubist style. Otto Dix utilizes bold and striking colors, primarily in shades of red, brown, and blue, to construct the facial features and background. The composition is characterized by a series of angular forms and overlapping planes, creating a sense of depth and dynamism. The man’s expression appears intense and somewhat distorted, conveying a strong emotional impact. The background includes abstract, architectural elements that hint at an urban setting, further enhancing the abstract and modernist feel of the artwork.
