ROSE WYLIE RA (b. 1934)
Self Portrait with Shut Mouth, 2017
single colour hand drawn lithograph on Somerset satin white 300gsm
63 x 89cm
This print was created to coincide with Wylie's retrospective exhibition Quack Quack at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in 2017/2018 which filled the walls with her vibrant, large-scale paintings. The artist often combines text with images in her work, and the RW on the left confirms that this is a self-portrait. The closely cropped composition is inspired, like many of Wylie's paintings, by cinematography.
