Is an artist's self-portrait a tool for introspection, or a 'false mirror' as René Magritte suggested? This collection delves into the complexities of self-representation in art history, featuring prominent examples from the 15th century to the present day. It questions whether self-portraits reveal an artist's true self or their desired public image, exploring the multifaceted nature of self-reflection through art.
