Vincent Smarkusz

Undiscovered American Genius in Modern Art

Self-Portrait in Oils

Collection: 

The artist created this self-portrait in 1949 at the age of 30.  It is the last of four such portraits he created - two in 1940 at the age of 21, and two more nine years later (see "Self-portrait Pairs").  But as we have seen, Vincent's alter egos are personified everywhere in his art.
