Etching over color lithograph on Hahnemühle-Vélin - signed and numbered by hand - there are some small brown spots on the right side (minor) - Image Size: 40 x 30.5cm - Sheet Size: 79.5 x 57cm. // Arnulf Rainer’s Kopf auf Braun (Self-Portrait) from 1991 is a limited edition mixed media print, blending etching over color lithography on Hahnemühle-Vélin paper. In this intense self-portrait, Rainer employs a technique of dense, chaotic lines scratched over his face, partially obscuring his features while amplifying a sense of introspection and emotional depth. The dark brown and black tones create a moody, almost haunting atmosphere, inviting viewers to ponder the psychological layers beneath the surface. This piece, characteristic of Rainer’s exploration of self-representation, emphasizes both personal and universal themes of identity and self-examination. Signed and numbered by the artist, it stands as a testament to his innovative and expressive approach to portraiture.

What is Art Informel?
Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
