During his life, Sjef van Schaijk made several self-portraits. The sharp facial features, the inquisitive look and the half-burned cigarette in the corner of his mouth are recurring elements. However, this painting, which he made at the age of 56, differs from his other self-portraits in several respects. At the end of the 1920s, Van Schaijk started painting without any artistic training. He gradually developed a personal style, characterised by highly simplified forms, emphatic contour lines, a smooth paint surface and an interplay between two- and three-dimensionality. Although the faces are provided with colour nuances and shadows, they do not seem very lifelike, like masks. In this portrait, however, we do see the wrinkles, spots and folds of skin. The brushstrokes are applied coarsely and hastily to paper, instead of in invisible strokes on canvas. This technique brings the head to life, as it were. The collection of Gemeentemuseum Helmond contains several other paintings by Van Schaijk in a similar style. They are proof that Van Schaijk certainly did not shy away from stylistic innovation.
Will be well packaged and shipped.
