The artwork titled “Self-Portrait” is a creation by the esteemed artist Tarsila do Amaral, aligning with the Art Deco and Naïve Art (Primitivism) movements. This piece of art, forming part of the self-portrait genre, showcases Amaral’s distinctive style and artistic perspective.
The artwork features a woman with a serene expression, positioned against a backdrop of deep blue hues that contrast strikingly with her attire. She is depicted with dark, neatly parted hair and a face highlighted by expressive eyes and bold red lips. The woman wears a voluminous, crimson garment that encircles her shoulders, adding a sense of softness and warmth. Her hands are gently clasped at the front, forming a central focal point in the composition. The choice of colors and the simplistic, yet powerful, expression capture the essence of the artist’s vision.
