Whilst working on my comments on Susan Sontag's Regarding The Pain of Others I recalled the work of the German expressionists, expecially Max Beckmann.
This is a self portrait:
An analysis of Beckmann's faces can be found here
I recalled Beckmann because I remembered the painting from studying art history at university called The Night:
It depicts urban horror.
Lo and behold there is a current exhibition of Beckmann's paintings at MOMA You can view more of Beckmann's paintings here
I will come back to Beckmann and the Australian expressionist Albert Tucker with future comments on Susan Sontag's Regarding the Pain of Others.
