Francesco Clemente Italian
Not on view
Part of a portfolio of five images focusing on hand gestures, this self-portrait suggests Clemente's fascination with gesture inspired by his travels in India and his awareness of the role of gesture in Italian Renaissance painting. The atmospheric quality of the soft-ground etching is enhanced by the creamy surface of the paper.
