About Self-portrait with yellow

“Self-portrait with Yellow” is a self-portrait created by the artist Richard Hamilton in 1998. The artwork belongs to the genre of self-portraits.

The artwork features Hamilton’s visage, abstractly depicted through the application of broad, unstructured strokes of yellow paint over a more detailed portrayal of his face. The yellow brushstrokes dominate the artwork, creating a striking contrast with Hamilton’s obscured facial features. The interplay of the vivid yellow against the more subdued tones of the rest of the portrait lends a dynamic and somewhat mysterious quality to the piece. This fusion of abstraction and realism serves to captivate the viewer, offering an insight into Hamilton’s introspective exploration of his own identity. The overall composition evokes a sense of both spontaneity and contemplation, emblematic of Hamilton’s innovative approach to the self-portrait genre.
