Synopsis
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., The self as a subject is one of the most fascinating and fruitful of artistic enterprises.

    Item received was not quite what was described by seller in listing. I contacted seller to request a 50% refund. Within hours, kind seller responded with a complete refund which did not entail my returning the item. Excellent customer service and the item was securely packaged and quickly sent. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller in future.

    Really lovely copy, exactly as described. I both read & collect hardbacks & this met all expectations. Seller responded really quickly with complete answers & additional supporting photos,going that extra mile. Ebay sadly has too many booksellers who have no regard for buyers, who lazily use 'stock' photos & disclaimers in their listings. This seller uses genuine photos of the actual item for sale & that is to their immense credit. I cannot recommend them highly enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Fast shipping and items exactly as described. I really want to point out the excellent PACKING, which was very secure and protected the CDs. Unwrapping it I felt like I was unwrapping a Hemingway First Edition, the care that was taken into packing. And a new box too, with plenty of extra room. Thank you!
