Adolphe Feder's "Self-Portrait," created in 1946, exemplifies the artist's exploration of identity and introspection through the use of bold colors and expressive brushwork. The painting is significant within the context of post-war art, reflecting the psychological complexities of the era and contributing to the discourse on self-representation in modern art.

Description of the work:

Adolphe Feder's "Self-Portrait" features a striking composition characterized by bold brushwork and a vivid color palette, emphasizing the artist's facial features and expression. The use of light and shadow creates a dynamic interplay that enhances the three-dimensionality of the subject, while the background remains subdued, directing focus to the figure.
