Marc Chagall (1887–1985) Self-Portrait with a Grimace, 1924–1925; etching on paper, signed lower right and numbered 76/100 lower left Image dimensions: 36.5 x 26.5 cm; 57.5 x 45 cm Bibliography: Kornfeld 43 This etching attests to the importance of the self-portrait genre throughout the artist’s career, but above all to the humor, lightheartedness, and derision he loved to infuse into them. Moving away from an academic or solemn representation, Marc Chagall presents here a playful vision of his own face by exaggerating his features and striking a theatrical grimace. The composition is striking for the freedom of its lines, the fluid movement of the curly hair, and the subtle use of engraving techniques to create dense shadows that shape the expression.
