A powerful and deeply introspective work, Self-Portrait with Rooster, 1977 showcases Affandi’s signature expressive brushstrokes and raw emotional intensity. The fluid ink washes create a dynamic interplay of movement and depth, where his distorted self-portrait merges with the swirling lines that define the composition. The inclusion of the rooster, a recurring motif in his art, adds a symbolic dimension, reflecting themes of vitality and perseverance.
Affandi’s work remains highly sought after for its emotive spontaneity and unique approach to modern expressionism. This rare museum-stamped self-portrait offers collectors a remarkable opportunity to acquire a piece that encapsulates the artist’s unfiltered vision and profound connection to his subjects.
