Between 1932 and 1977 Werner Drewes
produced 13 self portraits. These self
portraits seemed to have been sparked
when the artist was confronted with
death.
Drewes thought of himself as a
constructionist ... Rather than approaching
abstraction in other ways I always felt the
urge to discipline myself and compose both
my paintings and my prints in terms of
construction. Each one has to go his own
path and this has been mine.
