The self-portrait with pipe is the most iconic of Affandi’s self-portraits. With his pipe, Affandi can be himself, regardless of whichever place and time and whatever mood and health he finds himself in.
Self-portraits in oil are comparatively rare to landscape subjects Affandi depicts but even rarer are the self-portraits on paper.
