About the Work

Werner and Angelika Tübke divorced in 1976. She received custody of their two children, who were permitted to ‘return home’ to their father only at pre-appointed times. The artist’s diary and above all this drawing testify to how greatly he suffered from the separation. Here he depicted himself as a shaken and torn figure of the Passion in keeping with the biblical description.
