Self Portrait

Frank Howell, American (1937–1997)

Frank Howell at about twenty-nine, in conte crayon on a torn-edged sheet he mounted himself: direct, unidealized, and steady-eyed. Self-portraits are scarce in Howell's output, and this 1966 drawing is the collection's most personal object — the artist looking at the man who would make everything else here.
