Gallery Label"How autobiographical my art is. All these portraits of myself, my parents, the members of my family; the pictures of the artists with whom I came into contact; the city I have known and its people… I have revealed myself in them." -Raphael Soyer, from Self-Revealment: A Memoir
Raphael Soyer created hundreds of self-portraits in a variety of mediums. In this self-portrait from the end of his career, he explored his aged face through heavily hatched lines and jagged scribbles.
