More about this artwork

Alfred William Finch's "Self-Portrait (1918)" is a revealing glimpse into the intimate world of this artist, executed through the medium of charcoal on paper. This portrait showcases Finch, depicted wearing a classic peaked cap, which adds an element of both character and style to the composition. The lines that carve out his features are both soft and assertive, capturing a rawness that is deeply personal yet universally accessible.Visible in this drawing are the artist's pensive gaze and the subtle play of light and shadow across his face, illuminating his expression filled with contemplation and perhaps a hint of melancholy. This portrait not only reflects Finch’s skilled hand and keen eye for detail but also serves as a visual diary entry, documenting a moment in his life during a turbulent period of global history.This self-portrait further contributes to our understanding of Finch as an artist who profoundly captured his own essence and emotions, leaving a lasting impression through the simplicity of monochrome.

Alfred William Finch (1854-1930) was a Neo-Impressionist artist born to British parents in Brussels, Belgium. His works utilized the color palette and Pointillism technique, which were shared by other significant figures of the Neo-Impressionism movement, including Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and Georges Seurat. Finch was among the founding members of Les XX (Les Vingt), a group of twenty artists based in Brussels that challenged antiquated and conservative artistic traditions and academism. The group held annual art exhibitions, greatly influencing the development of Neo-Impressionism. In his later years, Alfred William Finch also produced ceramics and pottery, decorated with a fusion of his familiar Neo-Impressionism, Arts and Crafts, and Belgian Art Nouveau styles. His artworks primarily portray the atmospheric beauty of nature and the countryside along the Channel coast. Alfred William Finch spent the majority of his artistic career in Helsinki, where he passed away in 1930.
