Epstein "What is a face?" The words are Picasso's, but it was in images that he trulexplored the question. For many artists throughout history, self-portraiture has served as personal revelation, advertisement, satire, status symbol and/or psychic fragmentation. Between the late 1840s and the outbreak of World War II, the self-portrait was a central mode of artistic expression. After a brief survey of the origins and history of Western self-portraiture, we will consider this dynamic period during which artists reinvented themselves in relation to environment, audience, and marketplace. Serial self-portraitists such as Van Gogh and Kahlo will receive special attention, as will issues of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity. Prerequisite: one 200-level art history course. Offered Term 2.
