Self-Portrait 1971

Periklis Vyzantios' 1971 "Self-Portrait" is a powerful and introspective work. The artist's distinctive, expressive style, characterized by bold lines and nuanced shading, captures the essence of his aging face. Vyzantios, who lived from 1893-1972, conveys a sense of vulnerability and introspection, leaving viewers to contemplate the passage of time and the artist's own mortality. This self-portrait is a testament to Vyzantios' skill as a portraitist, and the raw emotionality of his work. The use of graphite and colored pencil on paper brings a raw and vulnerable dimension to the artist's self-exploration.
