About the artwork:

Peter Birkhäuser's "The World's Wound" (1953) presents a haunting exploration of inner turmoil and the human psyche. The painting features a figure whose face is divided into two contrasting expressions: one half gazes directly at the viewer with an unsettling intensity, while the other half appears angry, suggesting a deep-seated conflict within. This duality reflects the artist's own experiences with nightmares, as the mysterious man depicted haunted Birkhäuser's dreams for years, ultimately transforming his life. The composition evokes a sense of paranoia and introspection, inviting viewers to confront the fears and anxieties that lie beneath the surface of consciousness. The work's unsettling nature is further emphasized by the artist's meticulous technique, which captures the intricate details of the figure's expression, making it an enduring representation of the struggle between light and darkness in the human experience.
