Image description

Inscription: Signed: lower left centre & recto: W. Lewis. Signed: Verso: Self-portrait (about 1912) / W.L. This is one of three self-portrait drawings Wyndham Lewis made in 1911-12, when he was 29 years old. The angular planes and strong linear structure show the early influence of Cubism on his work. Lewis portrays himself as a defiantly avant-garde artist, using dramatic contrasts of light and dark to convey a sense of menace. His piercing gaze suggests the combative public persona Lewis wished to project, that of an iconoclast determined to break with an old order.
