Self Portrait with Champagne Glass 1919
Max Beckam
This artwork is a self portrait of the artist Max Beckam. It was created during the Surrealism era in the early 1900s. To begin with, surrealistic means having an oddly dreamlike or unreal quality.This is true for the painting because the skin tone is unlike real skin color. There many tints and shades that would otherwise not appear in a real human. It appears as if the hands are a grayish tint. This was probably the result of adding white to a beige skin color.The left side of the face has a darker value as a consequence of lighting not reaching that part.Also the background is a variation of reds and oranges. The man in the background is also unrealistic because his glass lense is pure white and not clear like glass. Overall, the painting has a human resemblance but can be described more as cartoonish.
