EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait captures the enigmatic and introspective gaze of American painter Harry Lee Oakley (1882-1960). The image, believed to have been created during the 1920s, showcases Oakley's mastery of capturing the human form and emotion through his brushstrokes. With his piercing blue eyes and expressive facial features, Oakley invites the viewer into a deeply personal moment of introspection. Born in Ohio, Oakley moved to New York City to pursue a career in art. He studied under the renowned artist William Merritt Chase and became a member of the prestigious Society of American Artists. Oakley's work was influenced by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, and he was known for his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. Despite his artistic success, Oakley's personal life was marked by tragedy. He was married twice, and both marriages ended in divorce. His only child, a daughter named Marion, died at a young age. These experiences may have contributed to the depth and complexity of the emotions conveyed in his self-portraits. This photographic print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the life and art of Harry Lee Oakley. It serves as a reminder of the power of self-expression and the enduring allure of the human spirit.
