Maybe one hint: it's a selfportrait...

Heather | 8548 comments My guess from way out there, is it Andy Warhol? Before he colored, or 'uncolored' his hair to that ghastly white!

Dirk Van | 4542 comments No, not Warhol. This one is a bit older but not much.

Dirk Van | 4542 comments Nope. Good guess, but this artist wasn't from Germany.

Dirk Van | 4542 comments You've got it Chris!
Was it a guess or did you know the painting?

Chris Gager (chrisinmaine) | 375 comments I've seen it before in a Rothko book(he's one of my favorite painters) but the memory was still a bit fuzzy.

Dirk Van | 4542 comments Rothko is not my favorite artist but I can appreciate his colorful ones.
Towards the end of his life he painted them only in grey and black, sinking in a deep depression and finally committing suicide.
