{"product_id":"self-portrait-nude-richard-gerstl","title":"Self-Portrait (Nude) - Richard Gerstl","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nude self-portrait by Austrian Expressionist Richard Gerstl, rendered in cool tones and vigorous brushstrokes, conveying a sense of emotional intensity and introspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRichard Gerstl (1883-1908) was an Austrian painter known for his intense, emotionally charged Expressionist works. Though his career was brief, ending with his suicide at the age of 25, Gerstl produced a body of work that stands apart from his contemporaries due to its raw psychological insight and innovative approach to colour and form. He is considered one of Austria's first Expressionists. \n\nThis self-portrait presents the artist nude, standing in a somewhat ambiguous space. The palette is restrained, dominated by cool blues, greys, and whites, with touches of warmer flesh tones. Gerstl's brushwork is vigorous and expressive, with visible strokes that convey a sense of immediacy and emotional urgency. The figure is rendered with a degree of anatomical accuracy, but Gerstl is less concerned with idealised beauty than with capturing the inner state of the subject. The pose is somewhat confrontational, with the artist meeting the viewer's gaze directly. The background is indistinct, adding to the sense of isolation and introspection that characterises the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/naakte-vrouw-nude-woman-meijer-bleekrode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNaakte vrouw (Nude Woman) - Meijer Bleekrode — Meijer Bleekrode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-franz-marc-august-macke\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Franz Marc - August Macke — August Macke\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Richard Gerstl","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57818409599311,"sku":null,"price":32.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57821041983823,"sku":null,"price":39.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57821042016591,"sku":null,"price":47.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-Portrait-Nude-_Poster_CompositorV1_1780112284657.jpg?v=1780112541","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/self-portrait-nude-richard-gerstl","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
