About the work
Here Heinrich Hoerle depicted the worldview of someone in deep psychological turmoil. His world has become topsy-turvy and unpredictable—a table balances precariously on its edge, and the hands that he lost taunt him as they grow up out of a planter. The prismatic distortions of light and space convey the anger of the wounded man, who is faced with constant reminders of what he has lost.
