The "master" paintings of Rappaport's first period of traditional painting are much like the obligatory proofs of rite of passage. From then on that manner of execution will become a reference in discriminationg what is recurrent in the handling of space, contour, and material process in later modes of expression in spite of the differences; for there will always be relationships evident that act as signature of the artist. It is what is particular to him that holds the symphonic unfolding together as an integral form.
In this instance, if one were to take this self-portrait from the Burial of Christ of 1964 and place it beside a similar size detail of the face of the Rabbi of 1968, and then bring into the comparison the two faces of Joseph from the triptych of 1970/71, we may begin to see how much they have in common in their manner of execution other than they are all self-portraits.
