Self-Portrait

Lajos Tihanyi's Self-Portrait captures his intense emotional state through bold, expressive brushstrokes characteristic of Expressionism. As a Hungarian painter and lithographer who achieved international recognition mainly in Paris, Tihanyi's work reflects his deep personal insight and modernist influences. Having emigrated in 1919 and never returning to Hungary, his art often conveys themes of exile and self-exploration. This Self-portrait exemplifies his innovative style, blending vivid color and psychological depth to depict his own image with striking honesty.
