EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Albrecht Durer's "Self Portrait with a Pillow" from 1493, which was featured in Wilhelm Waetzoldt's book "Durer, Und Seine Zeit". The image is now part of the esteemed collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In this self-portrait, Durer presents himself in a nightdress, peacefully asleep on a pillow. His intricate hairstyle and detailed facial features are beautifully depicted by his own hand. As one of Germany's most renowned artists, Durer showcases his skillful technique and attention to detail through this monochrome composition. The photograph transports us back to the 1940s when it was captured by an unknown photographer for publication in "The Print Collector" magazine. It provides us with a glimpse into the past as we witness Durer's self-reflection during a time when Germany faced significant historical events. Dressed in traditional German attire, this portrait not only represents an individual but also symbolizes the spirit of an entire nation. Through his artistry, Durer conveys both vulnerability and strength within himself and his country. As we observe this image today, we can appreciate how it encapsulates centuries of history while remaining timeless in its artistic expression. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil or uncertainty, art has the power to transcend boundaries and connect people across generations.
