The Naked Young Painter

Description

Frontal self portrait of William Segal done from life in studio with arms behind his back and a towel around his waist. Early representation of introspective work painted by Segal over his artistic explorations that spanned his adult life. Color palette reflects those popular in modern decorative arts and interiors of this era and is indicative of subliminal reference to his engagment in the fashion/interior design world of Post War New York through his fabric trade publications.
