Stanley Spencer (British/English, 1891-1959) • Self-portrait • 1914 • Tate Modern

Tate Gallery Card:

This is Spencer’s first self-portrait in oil paint, made when he was around 23 years old. He painted it over the course of nearly a year in the front bedroom of his family home in Cookham. Its dark, rich colours and strong sense of three dimensionality reflect his interest in 16th-century European painting. Spencer recalled that he was inspired to paint it in this way after seeing a reproduction of a head of Christ by Italian Renaissance artist Bernardino Luini (c.1480/82–1532).

The Kristiania Bohemians were a political and cultural movement of naturalist and neo-romanticist artists in the 1880s centered in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway. They got their name from the 1886 book Fra Kristiania-bohêmen by nihilist Hans Jæger, the leading figure of the movement, a book that caused him to be convicted and sentenced for infringement of modesty and public morals, and for blasphemy. Other figures in the movement were Christian and Oda Krohg, and Edvard Munch was connected as well.

The Kristiania Bohemians were rebelling against the prevailing social structure, and held loud discussions on morals, sex, drugs and free love. They believed that institution of marriage should be abolished and that there should be full sexual freedom between the sexes. The Kristiania Bohemians are also known for their self-satirizing Nine Bohemian Commandments (1889).
