Abstract

There are many pictures of Kharms, the differences between them dependent on the way other people saw him and, in Kharms's self-portraits, on the various functions and roles the poet ascribed to himself. In the iconography of Kharms the self-portraits have a special place. They concentrate on the face (en face and in profile) and on the costume. Functional elements in them are the principle of the mirror, deformation, incompleteness and caricature.
