Jerry Schutte

Self Portrait Linoleum Cut

18x13"

Jerry Schutte is an artist and professor at the University of Arizona who encourages his students to take art head-on. He is a skilled artist that excels in all kinds of art ranging from linoleum cuts, paintings to etchings. He teaches courses in Figure Painting, Life Drawing, Drawing, and Painting. He has had over 17 solo exhibitions, 120 national exhibitions, and has received 25 national exhibition awards. 

His self- portrait really shows the strength that texture and detail can portray in anyones artwork. The stance and point of perspective he chose to make his self portrait engages the viewer to look into his eyes as if he were actually looking at the audience. On the other hand, the disheveled look he has adds to his character and makes the print an even stronger piece.
