This article aims to outline a portrait of the old Gottfried Benn as well as some aspects of his late style on the base of his conference "Altern als Problem für Künstler" (1954) which epitomizes all the aesthetic and poetological questions upon which the ancient poet was reflecting, such as the tragic nature of the artist's destiny, the degenerate nature of the artist and the fundamental opposition between the artist and the "cultural officer".
