In Self Portrait, Edward Hopper portrays himself with raw, unadorned sincerity. His direct, almost defiant gaze offers a window into the artist’s soul. He wears a brown hat and a dark suit with an emerald green tie that adds a note of colour to his outfit. The light softens his facial features and highlights the penetrating gaze of his blue eyes.
This portrait reveals Hopper’s mastery of oil painting, presenting a variety of textures, from the felt of the hat to the complexion of the skin. Standing at the crossroads between realism and introspection, the work embodies a personal study, where the main subject is the artist himself, captured in the stillness of time and space, a recurring theme in his work.
