Renaissance to modern art · Dürer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Kahlo and Schiele
Famous self-portraits show how artists construct their identity, question their bodies and assert their place in history.
Self-portraiture developed strongly during the Renaissance with the rise of the artist's individual status and the more common use of the mirror. Dürer presents himself with a new dignity; Parmigianino transforms the distortion of the convex mirror into a virtuoso demonstration. In the 17th century, Rembrandt followed his face for several decades and made aging a subject. Vigée Le Brun and Artemisia Gentileschi used self-portraiture to assert their professional authority. Courbet dramatizes emotion, Van Gogh explores color, Schiele distorts the body and Frida Kahlo associates identity, pain and symbols. Each work is at once resemblance, staging and manifesto. There selection "Famous self-portraits" notably compares Self-portrait with bandaged ear - Vincent van Gogh and Self-portrait with two circles - Rembrandt. His reading favors figures.
Representing yourself means choosing what the mirror does not decide: posture, role, symbol, technique and place given to the viewer's gaze.
