- Summary:
- Hand and Head offers a radical new interpretation of one of the most important expressionist portraits, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's Self-Portrait as Soldier (1915). Peter Springer rejects "transparent" readings of this work and sees it as an expression of ambivalence toward war, rather than as a harsh condemnation of militarism.
