Even more dramatic evidence of his progression lies in his rare self-portraits: in 1900 he saw himself as a religion-seeker, with deep, glowing eyes (a pose that later so distressed him that he threatened to destroy the work with an automatic pistol); by 1942 his portrait had become a sculpture in flat white plaster cubes and planes...
