About ‘Self-portrait in White Dress, Jacek Malczewski’
Self-portrait in White Dress, Jacek Malczewski (1914)
Self-portrait in white dress is of particular importance in the artist’s oeuvre, among the countless other self-portraits. Malczewski presents the top half of his body, dressed in a white, women’s blouse with buffy sleeves and a tied collar decorated with a gold clasp and a white, fancy beret with a red cap band tightly touching the temple. Leather, wide, highlander belt, applied to a multicolored woven belt wrap around the hips. The ceremonial pose, with the right hand – a knight’s gesture – supported on the hip, the left hand presenting a brush as an attribute of the painter’s vocation, gives the portrait an official character, though not devoid of elements of the grotesque.
