By Ernst Rebel.
This collection brings together many of the best examples of self-portraiture in art history. Self-portraits are not just mirror images. The reflected self is actively processed, staged, clarified and enhanced. Sometimes the self-portrait is even slipped into a larger group of people. Featured artists include: Michelangelo, Rubens, Chardin, Goya, Van Gogh, Munch, Picasso, Schiele, Kahlo, Rivera, Dali, Warhol, Hockney, Koons and others. A great collection with one page of text accompanying the artist's full-page image.
