Self-Portrait at Dawn, a lithograph of 1906, or Self-Portrait with Model, an oil painting of 1907 2 --are dominated by an erotic tension between the model and the artist. In those works the artist paints confidently while smoking a pipe. In the Oberlin self-portrait, the model and canvas function as quotations from a past that had become completely irrelevant in the face of the artist's mutilation. - See more at: http://www.oberlin.edu/amam/Kirchner_SelfPortrait.htm#sthash.vIlvXh2z.dpuf
