My Eyes at the Moment of the Apparitions | August Natterer | 1911-13

About the artwork:

My Eyes at the Moment of the Apparitions by August Natterer (1911–13) is one of the artist’s most revealing works, a drawing in which he attempts to capture the exact instant he believed he witnessed a supernatural vision. Rather than depicting a literal pair of eyes, Natterer constructs an abstract, almost mechanical structure that seems to fracture and multiply the act of seeing, as if his perception itself had broken open. The symmetrical forms resemble lenses, wings or rotating diagrams, suggesting both vulnerability and overwhelming sensory overload. Created during the height of his schizophrenic hallucinations, the drawing becomes a visual record of a mind trying to translate an experience that defies ordinary language. It stands today as a key example of Art Brut, showing how Natterer used geometric precision not to impose order on chaos, but to map the inner architecture of a moment he believed was apocalyptic.
