Vase of Lilacs, Roses, and Tulips Gustave Courbet French, 1819-1877Oil on canvas Both of these paintings were done by the same person. I don’t know about you, but I’m much more interested in the self portrait. Why do you think that is? What do you want to know about the artist?
Throughout time and by all reflective individual we as human ask ourselves… • Who am I? • What are the distinctive things that make me "me"? • How do I want people to see me? • How can I express my many different sides? • How can I reinvent myself for various purposes or times in my life? • How am I changing from day to day or year to year? • Who do I want to become?
Artists… Since the fifteenth century and the advent of the mirror have modeled for themselves in their own works of art. Whether it is an in-depth exploration of the artist’s own psyche or simply because as a model, the artist is clearly the cheapest and most available. Whatever the reason, nearly every artist, in every medium from painters to sculptors have attempted this exploration of self.
