George Segal, one of America's most important postwar sculptors, is best known for the anonymous white cast-plaster figures he often placed in real environments. Gaining recognition in the Pop Art era of the 1960s, he frequently tied his subjects to popular culture and contemporary events. This exceptional late drawing, however, reveals another, more personal side of the artist's talents and is part of a series of larger-than-life, black-and-white heads of family and friends that he began in the 1990s. Executed with hundreds of strokes of black charcoal and pastel, this last self-portrait (at age seventy-five) is a tour de force of expressionist drawing that presents a powerful, intimate view of his psychological state and aging physiognomy. Looming out of the darkness to a height of almost four feet, Segal's craggy features fill nearly the entire composition, yet they project an innate humanness that contradicts their monumental scale. The dramatic chiaroscuro effect he achieved with bright lighting and deep shadows gives the likeness a strong sculptural quality. Gazing intently into the viewer's space, the artist seems to be assessing some unseen presence—perhaps his own reflection.
