Self-Portrait
Sep 14, 2012 - Jan 13, 2013
The self-portrait is a classic, well-tried but also intense and sometimes raw genre taking many different expressions all through art history. Louisiana’s big autumn exhibition will be showing major works from the twentieth century – from van Gogh till the present and in all media. It will tell the story of the transformation of self-representations. In the self-portraits we encounter the artist’s true expression or identity - or is it dream and fantasy, and one actually paint oneself? see oneself? or can only others know who you are? The questions reach out beyond the artist’s own universe into the life of the viewer – and it is of course precisely from here the pictures draw their fascination. The exhibition comprises over a hundred important works from the twentieth century, from Picasso, Bonnard, de Chirico, Dalí and Kahlo to Mapplethorpe, Warhol, Basquiat, Krystufek and others.
