Self-Portrait 1946

"Self-Portrait" is a 1946 woodcut by American artist Houston Chandler (1914-2014). The print depicts a close-up view of the artist's face, rendered with a strong sense of realism and detail. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the woodcut process gives the portrait a textured and somewhat rough quality, emphasizing the lines and wrinkles of the artist's face. This self-portrait is a testament to Chandler's skill as a printmaker and offers a glimpse into his own self-perception.
