GHOST IN THE SHELLPhotography and the Human Soul, 1850-2000Robert A. Sobieszek (Curator of Photography, Los Angeles County Museum of Art) Los Angeles County Museum of Art 10. August 2000 |
| Historian Peter Selz has compared Gottfried Helnwein's tortured, screaming, and bandaged self-portraits to Messerschmidt's sculptural self-portraits, but the artist has said, " The reason why I took up the subject of self-portraits and why I have put myself on stage was to function as a kind of representative. There is nothing autobiographical, no therapy, and it says nothing about me personally. .... I am always available as a model." |
