Self Portraits: From 1800 To The Present

In Self Portraits: From 1800 to the Present, Philippe Ségalot and Morgane Guillet take the reader on an intimate journey through art history via self-portraits. The carefully curated selection includes iconic as well as lesser-known works that touched them deeply.

The artworks, presented in chronological order, range from paintings and photography to neon art and found objects. Page after page unfolds an immersive gallery in which artists reflect themselves - sometimes literally, sometimes conceptually. This book shows how the self-portrait has evolved and been redefined over the centuries.

With an introductory text by Robert Storr and more than sixty masterpieces by Claude Monet, Félix Vallotton and Elizabeth Peyton, among others, this volume offers a unique insight into the versatility of the self-portrait and how artists have depicted themselves and their identities through time.
