About This Artwork
Self-Portrait with a Cigarette presents Beckmann's penetrating gaze directly toward the viewer, rendered in bold, angular forms characteristic of German Expressionism. Painted in 1923 during the tumultuous Weimar period, the work captures the artist's psychological intensity through distorted proportions and a restricted, somber palette. The cigarette and austere setting convey an air of existential weariness and modernist introspection.
Beckmann emerged as a leading figure of Expressionism, using distortion and emotional directness to explore themes of human anxiety and social dislocation. His self-portraits form a distinctive body of work that documents his artistic evolution and inner life across decades of profound historical change.
