Self-Portrait 1940

Kálmán Kubinyi's 1940 self-portrait is a striking example of printmaking. The etching depicts the artist's face in a close-up, with a focus on his intense gaze and prominent features. The lines of the etching are bold and expressive, creating a sense of depth and detail. This printmaking technique, which involves creating an image by incising a design onto a metal plate, was popular in the early 20th century. This work, which was created for the artist's friend Frank Emil, demonstrates the artistry of Kubinyi, a Hungarian artist known for his graphic arts.
