Pamina Liebert-Mahrenholz, Self-Portrait

acrylic on board

42 x 31.5

2011-01

Initially trained as a sculptor, Liebert-Mahrenholz took up painting and drawing during the second part of her career, following her release from wartime internment. This striking self-portrait, painted in her late seventies, with its dynamic vertical slashes of paint, shows her strength of character and draws on the legacy of German Expressionism. Another version of this portrait is in the Ruth Borchard Collection.
