EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Felix Nussbaum, titled "Self-portrait with a Paper Hat and Blue Scarf" transports us back to the 1930s. Painted in oil on plywood, this piece showcases Nussbaum's incredible talent as an artist. The portrait measures 65.5x50.8 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Nussbaum's self-portrait captures the essence of the era, with its distinct fashion choices and urban setting. He portrays himself wearing a paper hat and a vibrant blue scarf, adding an element of whimsy to the composition. His smile radiates warmth and joy, while his expressive eyes draw us into his world. The background reveals a bustling street scene filled with bystanders going about their day. This adds depth to the artwork, highlighting Nussbaum's ability to capture not only his own likeness but also the surrounding environment. Nussbaum was known for his modern art style influenced by surrealism, which is evident in this piece through its dreamlike quality. The use of color further enhances this effect, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar yet otherworldly. As we admire this self-portrait from early 20th-century Germany, we are reminded of Nussbaum's tragic fate during World War II when he fell victim to Nazi persecution due to his Jewish heritage. Through his artistry, however, Nussbaum continues to live on as one of Germany's most celebrated artists of that time period.
