Self-Portrait 1979

Avigdor Arikha's "Self-Portrait" from 1979 is a stark and expressive black and white drawing that captures the artist's likeness with a raw and intimate intensity. The piece is rendered primarily in white chalk on black paper, with the artist's features emerging from a dark background. Arikha's signature is visible at the bottom left corner of the work, adding a personal touch to this powerful self-portrait.
