中文简介：

自我作为一个主题是迷人、富有成果的艺术事业之一。从 15

世纪到金天，该系列汇集了一些自画像的佳范例，以探索该类型几个世纪以来的演变，以及在社交媒体出现之前几个世纪以来一直困扰人类经验的自我和自我表现的持久问题和自拍照。

艺术家的自画像是一种反思的媒介ma？或者它只是一个黑色的虚空，即“假镜子”，正如炒现实主义者雷内·马格里特 (René Magritte) 为他 1928

年的眼睛画作所命名的那样？它对当代美、权力和地位的观念有多少影响？从阿尔布雷希特·丢勒（Albrecht Dürer）到埃贡·席勒（Egon

Schiele），从弗拉·菲利波·里皮（Fra Filippo Lippi）到弗里达·卡罗（Frida

Kahlo），这个影响深远的收藏探讨了艺术家将自己作为主题的多种方式，他们使用的各种巧妙的方法和视角，以及他们提出的有趣的问题。

英文简介：

The self as a subject is one of the most fascinating and fruitful of artistic

enterprises. From the 15th century to today, this collection brings together

some of the best examples of self-portraiture to explore the genre’s evolution

over the centuries as well as the enduring questions of selfhood and self-

representation that have besieged human experience for centuries before social

media and the selfie.

Is a self-portrait of an artist a medium of reflection? Or is it merely a

black void, the “false mirror,” as the Surrealist René Magritte entitled his

1928 painting of an eye? How much does it impart about contemporary notions of

beauty, power, and status? From Albrecht Dürer to Egon Schiele, Fra Filippo

Lippi to Frida Kahlo, this far-reaching collection explores the numerous ways

in which artists have taken themselves as subjects, the variety of ingenious

methods and perspectives they have used, and the intriguing questions they

raise.
