Notes


Erfmann's works are often autobiographical, both directly, as he sometimes depicted himself as an acrobat or a performer, and indirectly, as he showed his extravagant beauty ideals and hidden desires in his works: "Erfmann heeft zich nooit veel rekenschap gegeven van de wetten van (kleur)perspectief, anatomie of stofuitdrukking. Zijn werken zijn plat en tekenachtig. Opvallend zijn de uitdrukkingsloze gezichten van zijn robuuste vrouwen en mannen en het feit dat alle details evenveel nadruk hebben gekregen... Eigen en eigengereider was hij ook in de keuze van zijn voorstellingen, die met een curieuze mix van natuurlijke onbevangenheid en fetisjistische geobsedeerdheid veelal autobiografisch zijn. Het oeuvre van Erfmann biedt als ander tijdsbeeld een bijzonder schouwspel, maar is vóór alles een dit-is-mijn-leven-show" (Koopmans. Y. Ten geleide. In: Ferdinand Erfmann 1901-9068. De platonische idee van de mens. Zwolle, Uitgeverij WBOOKS, 2016, p. 6).
