“Selfies” were in the news again today, as the press evidently felt that the U.S. president taking one of himself and some other world leaders at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service was a newsworthy event (sigh).
Here are some more artists’ “selfies”, done with brush or graphite.
(Images above: Diego Rivera, George Tooker, Frits Thaulow, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, Alphonse Mucha, Titian, Burton Silverman, Zinaida Serebriakova. [Thanks to Daniel van Benthuysen and Eric Kelly for their suggestions of Burton Silverman and Zinaida Serebriakova.])










Luca Parmitano beats all selfies. He did it ‘in space’.

Yeah, I don’t know which is worse. When the news media talks about selfies, or as in the past, some politicians hairstyle.
I still like the idea here though.
Love the Burton Silverman.
This is really nice of art is like a classical impressionist
