Summary

"Me, Myself, I : Artists' Self Portraits provides an historical context and illuminating overview to society’s current interest in self-representation and selfie culture. The self-portrait enables artists to present and define themselves, from the highly personal and psychological, to the polemical and political, including challenging social norms and assumptions. This book brings the discussion up to date by exploring current questions of identity and why self-portraiture continues to be relevant today. Self-portraits by major artists such as Sir Joshua Reynolds, Angelica Kau man and William Hogarth are presented here alongside modern and contemporary work by artists such as Grayson Perry, Sonia Boyce and Gillian Wearing."--Back cover.
