A Face to the World
On Self-Portraits
By Laura Cumming
The Lives of the Artists - seen through their self-portraits The lives of selected painters seen through an examination of their self-portraits. The book is divided into themes such as self-promotion; self-examination; the self as artist; as narrator; the hidden self; the mirrored self; self-conciousness; self-regard; self-deprecation; self-knowledge, and the way some artists dealt with these is both familiar and surprising. This will be a cool, witty and thoroughly modern book, beautifully produced with colour illustrations.
