About this work

This drawing shows a human figure with its head tilted back, exposing its skull and spine like a skeleton. The body is outlined in quick, sketchy lines, while the head is more detailed, with hollow eye sockets and an open mouth. The paper is a muted green, and the lines are drawn in gray and brown. The title is written in German, which roughly translates to *"Oh, what horror to see your reflection!"*—a hint this might be about how we see ourselves. The artist used simple tools: felt-tip pens and colored pencils. Next, check out Günter Brus to see how he plays with body and identity in his work.
