The original woodcut is 'Portrait of a Man' (1919)

Through the medium of this exhibition poster, we can see the expressive power of Heckel’s self-portrait of 1919. The colour scheme and bold woodcut technique marks this portrait as one of the artist’s strongest works and a stand-out image in German Expressionism.
