Artist

Edmund Perle

Edmund Perle is a Post-Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum in Warsaw.

Edmund Perle painted self-portraits in oil during the late 1800s. In the 1884 version, his face emerges from a dark, unadorned field. By 1890 he stepped into a posed costume, borrowing 17th-century style and props.

Both works sit squarely in the self-portrait tradition, where artists turn their gaze back on themselves. Look closer at the 1890 Self-portrait in the 17th-century costume to see how props and period dress shift the mood.
