Self-Portrait 1927

"Self-Portrait" (1927) by Vilhelm Lundstrom (1893-1950) is an oil painting that depicts the artist in a formal pose, wearing a suit and tie. The painting is characterized by its simplified forms and bold colors, typical of the Expressionist movement. Lundstrom's self-portrait, now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a sense of introspection and seriousness, inviting viewers to consider the artist's personality and artistic intentions. The dark blue background creates a sense of depth and formality, enhancing the impact of the figure's presence.
