Self-Portrait 1982

"Self-Portrait" (1982) is an etching by American Abstract Expressionist artist Sam Francis (1923–1994). The artwork depicts a minimal, line-drawn portrait in a small rectangular space at the top of the sheet, placed against a largely empty background. The subject is a stylized human face, with a focus on the eyes, nose, and mouth, suggesting a sense of introspection and self-reflection. The minimalist style is typical of Francis's later work, which often explored themes of the human condition and the nature of perception. The artwork is a testament to Francis's ability to convey complex ideas through simple forms and line.
