About the piece

Created in 1918, this self-portrait by Swedish artist J.A.G. Acke is a study in movement and color. Using a rapid, impressionistic technique, the artist surrounds himself with energetic blue brushstrokes that suggest a windy, outdoor setting, capturing a fleeting moment of light and character with modern confidence.
