Black Leather Jacket
This self-portrait, adorned with a black jacket silk aviator scarf, gazing directly indifferently into the camera. Promoting his image as the outsider, and at that, he was very far outside the box. No modern artists up to this point had to embrace the sexuality of men like him. The only issue is that the gazes were not feminine but masculine.
Painting by Chris Dale, inspiration from an American-born photographer, Robert Michael Mapplethorpe.
