Oppermann in Praxis

(Gilles Deleuze 1925-1995, who ended his life by auto-defenestration)

This portrait of the late Deleuze has a much greater degree of repose than our current "existential image" of the young philosopher in his black coat, scarf and hat. Deleuze, by comparison is somewhat pathetically leaning to the left in our view of him. The wide open terror and possible menace ("what was it you wanted?" asks Bob Dylan) of Oppermann's face is a salutary counter to the listing image of Deleuze, overburdened by sickness and possible exhaustion with even having to bother with the incomprehension of the incomprehensible."
