During a lifetime of study and self analysis, Holloway made more etched self portraits than any other British printmaker. With a consistency and conviction comparable to that of Rembrandt, he drew himself in various guises, using bodily gesture and facial expression to suggest different aspects of his personality or state of mind, and over time responded to the aging process. His first self portrait was a drypoint of 1931, aged 16, and his most recent, The Fedora, his 33rd, was etched in 2002, at the age of 88.
