A Collector's Item for Art Enthusiasts and Connoisseurs
"Self Portraits: From 1800 to the Present" by Assouline is more than just a book – it's a work of art and a collector's item in its own right. With the introspective introduction by renowned curator Robert Storr and the profound curatorial work of Philippe Ségalot and Morgane Guillet, this volume offers an unparalleled access to the world of self-representation in art.
While some pieces don't necessarily picture the artists themselves, they all represent their personal interpretation of what a self-portrait can be, show what they chose to reveal, how they wished to be seen, and how they viewed their own reflection through their art. An inspiring quote from Frida Kahlo – "I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality" – underscores the deep personal connection that each self-portrait embodies.
Whether as a centerpiece on your coffee table, an inspiration for art lovers, or an exquisite gift for art collectors – this Assouline masterpiece is a valuable addition to any library and living space.
