"Self-Portrait" (1965) by Gandy Brodie (1924-1975) is a striking example of expressionist portraiture. Brodie's use of bold brushstrokes and thick impasto creates a sense of raw emotion, while the artist's intense gaze conveys a vulnerability and introspection. The simplified forms and muted colors of the background emphasize the subject's presence, drawing the viewer into a deeply personal moment. The artist's signature style is evident in this work, reflecting his artistic journey and personal experience.
