Arneson created self- portraits in pottery and glazed ceramics as seen here. Almost all of his art are of himself, his motto was that no one knew him better then himself therefore was able to create his form in many different arrays from comic to morbid. This piece of art is the head and neck of a man with grey hair and beard, white collar shirt in his late age. The base that holds this glazed ceramic is the full body of Arneson with graves of Greek & Roman heroes. The base showed his fate with Cancer taking over his body and life. The accuracy is astonishing.
