File talk:SELF NUDE 1963.jpg
This nude self-portrait, like those of Mrs. Ress and Ann, is from a series of Rappaport's earliest mature works painted independly in August of 1963. That autumn, at the beginning of his sophomore year at Carnegie Tech, they are given his first solo exhibition lining the main hallway of the Department of Painting and Design. These portraits are painted on the backs of discarded canvasses. After his father sees the exhibition, he gives his son an account which allows the young artist to paint large works on fine linen canvas resulting in the nine foot wide Burial of Christ that following spring of 1964.
Self Nude sits on a two-page ad spread in "BOMB', Fall 1997.
