Self-Portraits Paperback

Selfies are nothing new. Artists have painted self-portraits since the day we figured out, a la Narcissus, how to see ourselves in a mirrored surface. Rembrandt featured himself in a large amount of his paintings, including The Prodigal Son, where Rembrandt portrays himself as all three characters: the older son, the younger son, and, most importantly, the father. Vincent Van Gogh painted dozens of self-portraits. Leonardo Da Vinci, Salvador Dali, Claude Monet, Gustave Courbet- each has found the need to express themselves with images of their own face, as if to say: I was here. I mattered.

Self-Portraits is a book of reflection and celebration, of the beauty of falling in love with oneself, and the magic that comes from embracing joy.
