Description
-
With simple, black brushstrokes painted over a red background in this abstract self-portrait, the artist's defining facial features—furrowed brows, eyes, nose bridge, and moustache—are reduced to a logographic symbol reminiscent of Chinese characters.

Condition
-
Craquelure. Paint flaking. Remounted onto a new stretcher and stapled along the sides. Holes along the edges of the canvas on the reverse, where it was previously nailed into the stretcher. A small rip near the centre of the canvas. In good condition overall. The self-portrait appears to have been painted over another image, which is predominantly blue.
