PAUL SWAN, SELF PORTRAIT
This striking self-portrait captures Paul Swan—artist, dancer, and early 20th-century icon—at his most introspective and theatrical.

This work reflects his dual identity as both subject and spectacle, offering a rare window into the life of an avant-garde pioneer who inspired everyone from Isadora Duncan to Andy Warhol.
