Arts Alexandria Vigrinia The Artistic Self-Portrait in the 21st Century. Self-portraits have been an artistic expression of self for centuries from Michelangelo who depicted himself twice in the Sistine Chapel’s The Last Judgment (both as St. Bartholomew and as flayed skin held by St. Bartholomew) to Rembrandt who portrayed himself more than 90 times during his lifetime. Taking the self-portrait beyond the canvas, abstract sculptor Louise Nevelson depicted herself in black painted wood with a wall-sized piece titled, Self-Portrait: Silent Music IV. Today, new media are allowing artists to redefine the self-portrait as witnessed in the millions of pixilated images that are e-mailed, IM’ed, posted on Facebook and printed from the home computer everyday. How do you define self-portrait?
The Del Ray Artisans’ All-Member Show, PICTURE ME! The Artistic Self-Portrait in the 21st Century is your opportunity to portray yourself as you truly are, wish you were, or pray that you are not. Be a part of this redefining exhibition, all are invited to submit works in any style or medium.
