Member of the Eights, who added Hungarian qualities to Cézanne's style, expressionism and cubism, were keen on painting portraits. Besides Berény and Czigány, Tihanyi's style was particularly open and colourful. The deaf and numb artist's distorted face and the way he stares at the world demonstrates his skills of psychological expressiveness. The model and the background are both treated in the cubists' style, forms are emphasized in a daring way and red is a dominant colour. His later self-portraits do not tell more of the artist than the present one, although he portrays himself with his tools in one of them.
