More about this artwork

In this intriguing artwork, Ernst Josephson captures his essence not through elaborate brushwork but via a simple yet profound line drawing. "Self-Portrait" (1944) showcases the artist's unique ability to convey depth with minimalistic techniques. Josephson uses loose, expressive lines to depict his features emphasizing his distinctive bald head, thick mustache, and piercing gaze. The attention he pays to the eyes and hands suggests these as portals to his soul and craft, respectively.The portrait is notably unflinching and personal. Josephson includes his name "Ernst" playfully entwined within the drawing, adding a touch of whimsy and perhaps signaling his continuous presence in his art. Despite the simplicity in the medium, the drawing communicates volumes about his state of mind during this period, reflecting an introspective side of the artist not often seen in more detailed works.This self-portrait not only provides insight into Josephson’s identity but also serves as a compelling example of the power of line in expressing human emotion and character.
