After her marriage to Hans Bürgner in 1929 (divorced 1938) was complicated by an affair with psychoanalyst Gerhard Adler (whom she later married), Dodo underwent Jungian analysis in Zurich in 1933. The resulting outpouring of hallucinatory images explore guilt, alienation and separation as in this self-portrait.
