Self-Portrait as a Golf Player

Yasuo Kuniyoshi · 1927

Before you is Self-Portrait as a Golf Player — a painting by the American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi, nineteen twenty-seven. Kuniyoshi was part of the Catalan modernism movement. Oil on canvas — pigment ground into a slow-drying oil, which is what lets a painter go back into wet paint for days. You can pick out the portrait of a person.
