Me in Pictures. Five Centuries of Self-Portraits from the Collection of Prints and Drawings
Mar 09, 2019 - Jun 02, 2019
What do I see when I look in the mirror? What does my face reveal in my painting of it? Self-questioning, self-affirmation, self marketing. Ever since artists first began portraying themselves, self-portraits have opened up multifaceted possibilities. And was not the imprint of a hand in prehistoric cave painting ultimately a self-portrait? The portraits chosen for the exhibition reveal a broad spectrum, ranging from the intimacy of drawings to the endless images of reproduction that have conquered the world through prints and photography.
