Self-Portrait
1912 - 1917
Bold, slashing brushstrokes bring this intense self-portrait to life, capturing a man with a piercing gaze and a distinct mustache. Edvard Weie, a key figure in Danish modernism, uses rough, expressive strokes to build the figure's dark vest and crisp white shirt, leaving parts of the background almost raw and unfinished. Created between 1912 and 1917, the piece reflects a shift away from strict realism toward a more emotional, modernist style, where the energy of the paint itself tells the story. It’s a striking glimpse into the artist's own identity during a transformative period in European art.
