Images from a book I found at the MECA library yesterday. Turns out it was from Carlo's collection - he keeps speaking to me! The book is The Self Portrait: A Modern View by Sean Kelly and Edward Lucie-Smith, and it chronicles an exhibit of self-portraits made by invitation to a group of 60 artists, including heavy hitters like David Hockney and R. B. Kitaj, in Great Britain in the 80's. I'll post more from this book soon.

I really enjoy other people's self portraits
Me, too!!!
dear Martha, this book could be very useful for my master but I can't find it anywhere. Do you know if it speaks about nudity/naked self-portraits? Thank you in advance for your response! Gabi
