A self-portrait with a view 🪟

Artists have long been compelled by the desire to represent themselves, but have you ever considered self-portraiture as a powerful tool in self-exploration? Colin Moss was a British artist born in Ipswich who, during World War Two, worked as a camouflage designer.

Discover this new acquisition and more in our new display in Room 29 on Floor 1 of the National Portrait Gallery.
