Description
3head1I posted this etching before but I made a new version for print out of two scans. It's better and closer to the truth, it'ss an etching out of 1974, printed 1976 (so its pretty old) out of my times in art-school when I was 21
the original printing-plate was about 30 cm x 40 cm.

Wonderful ... melting ... a portrait as we really are perhaps ... all the different characters that go to make up the self as a whole???

Very cool, reminds me of those old alchemical illustrations or other images dealing with magic or the occult.
Any way I like it

Thanks, it is not so much about magic its more about
the psyche.

Well, that's where the real magic works best

Very cool. And there is a yiddish word I know from my childhood (which I don't know how to spell), dreykup or dreikup, which means "confused person" or "mixed up mind" - is this what Dreikopf means? Maybe its the same word, since Yiddish originated in/around Germany.

Thank you for this comment and information
It is a nice interpretation to that image (a kind of self-portrait)
I never heard about that Yiddish expression it meats the nail on the head. The original writing might be Dreykup for drey is an older spelling of drei.

Very cool, I've actually been doing some things like this lately... except I drew them on my arm and they washed away without being photographed... but anyway, this is a great piece
Does the name mean anything?
