Messias provides a unique insight into the self-image of Neuschul at this time, proclaiming an almost manic visionary quality, and reflecting his early artistic development and explorations into the psychological realm. The strength and self-possession of the painting bears comparison with the work of Neuschul’s contemporary, the young Egon Schiele, in its prescient ability to reveal the subject’s inner life.
