The Self-Portrait: A Cultural History

As one of the most enduring artistic traditions, portraiture reveals not only the faces but also the social and cultural histories of the past. The tradition of self-portraiture has been a long-standing one, from early artists creating their own self-portraits to the modern-day selfie. Join us for an investigation into the centuries-long tradition of self-portraiture with Dr. James Hall, author of The Self-Portrait: A Cultural History.

Following the lecture, the author will sign copies of his book, available in the Museum Store.
