Self portrait
1920-1930
Frederick Porter gives us a look that is equal parts serious and soul-searching in this self-portrait from the 1920s or 30s. While he’s dressed to the nines in a brown suit and red tie, the painting style is anything but stiff. The loose, chunky brushstrokes and that moody green background scream modernism, showing us an artist who was more interested in capturing a feeling than a perfect photograph. It’s a raw, honest glimpse into the mind of a man living through the turbulent interwar years.
