Self Portrait 1911

Theo van Doesburg's "Self Portrait" from 1911 is a powerful example of Expressionist portraiture. The painting captures the artist's likeness with bold strokes and vivid colors, particularly the striking blue background that contrasts with the vibrant hues of his face. Van Doesburg's artistic style, characterized by geometric forms and emotional intensity, is evident in this piece. It showcases a self-assured and assertive perspective of the artist, reflecting the early 20th-century artistic movement that embraced personal expression and subjective experiences.
