Figure 1
(Left) Oskar Kokoschka, ‘Self-portrait as warrior’ (1909). Unfired clay painted with tempera. This self-portrait is remarkably similar to the self-portrait of Sigmund Freud’s grandson (Right) painted nearly a century later: Lucian Freud (1922–2011), ‘Reflection (Self-portrait)’, (1985). Lucian Freud was widely considered the pre-eminent British artist of his time. His early work is often associated with (German) Expressionism; although interestingly, this was an influence he tended to deny.
