Mose Tolliver (1921–2006), Self-portrait, 1987
Paint on wood, 27 3/4 x 27 3/4 in.; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gift of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation
Throughout a thirty-five-year career as an artist, Mose Tolliver produced numerous self-portraits ranging from realistic images of the artist on his crutches to imaginative, anthropomorphized abstractions. He altered his likeness with a frequency that suggests an acute level of self-awareness and a desire to explore the multiple—and sometimes contradictory—physical and personality traits that constitute an individual’s identity.
