Valentiner [1880-1958], New York, NY, by bequest to the Cleveland Museum of Art date: 1965 footnotes: citations: The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH date: 1965- footnotes: citations: --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: Schmidt-Rottluff painted this powerful self-portrait in Berlin, where he settled after being discharged from the army in World War I. The jarring colors reflect the artist's desire to project his inner, emotional self. The angular, geometric features reveal the influence of Cubism and African wood sculpture. Schmidt-Rottluff was a founding member of Die Brücke (The Bridge), a group of German Expressionists devoted to establishing a bridge between artists and society. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS The Cleveland Museum of Art.
