THE
BLACK MIRROR, The world of Gottfried Helnwein
by
Toshiharu Ito
Artist of inner Turmoil. Gottfried Helnwein's works from
the 1980's are represented by the self-portraits in his "Black Mirror"
series. However, these works reach far beyond the boundaries of the ordinary
self-portrait. They reflect the inner wants and desperation which lies
within the viewer's own self. Helnwein points out the new form of the
modern self-portrait which involves the creator and viewer alike.
