Self-Portrait 1918

Magnus Enckell’s 1918 “Self-Portrait” captures the artist in a moment of introspection. Painted with bold brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette, the work reflects the expressive style of early 20th-century modernism. Enckell's self-assured gaze and the simplified forms of the face suggest a sense of confidence and self-awareness. The background's abstract, expressive brushwork adds to the overall feeling of dynamism and emphasizes the artist's individuality.
