A large majority of my friend’s and family’s responses centered around the idea that my hard work ethnic inspires them to follow my lead and try…

Painting is one of the forms of self-expression. Artists often use this media to show their opinion on social and cultural issues. In all Mark Ryden`s work there is a hint at something dark beneath the surface of mass culture. He creates dark paintings in which he combines images of cute children, cultural symbols and incomprehensible and alarming images. Ryden chooses themes that carry cultural connotations. He is interested in what different people and cultures consider sacred. His paintings…

that photography has to offer, including that of self-portraiture. I found the article Reflections on Self-Portraiture in Photography by Ina Loewenberg an interesting read and think the author has valid points throughout. The article states “We understand a portrait in any medium to be an artist’s interpretive rendering of the “subject” while a self-portrait is an artist’s presentation of self”(Loewenberg, 1999). I agree and I feel that a self-portrait is a great way to express his or herself…

therapist made progress and the child grew more cheerful and took more interest in the world, those self-portraits changed dramatically. The child began to use bright crayons. She began to put features on the face, though for a while she kept making the mouth area black; this was during a phase in which she was saying unpleasant things. Eventually she got over that, and, lo and behold, the next self-portraits showed her mouth--smiling. And even the surrounding area of the pictures changed. In…

Frida Kahlo was best known for her self-portraits, said to be Mexico's greatest female artists. Kahlo originally wanted to become a doctor but she was involved in a car accident in 1925, which left her as a permanent semi-invalid and infertile.

Van Gogh created many self-portraits over his short career but this one takes place in January of 1889, shortly after van Gogh cut off part of his own ear. It is uncertain why he did this to himself but it may be due to his mental issues and an argument with fellow painter Gauguin. Gauguin had been living and working with van Gogh in the Yellow House but left in late December 1888, around the time of this incident (Courtauld). It is believed that van Gogh gave the piece of his ear that he cut…
