Virtual - Art on Thursday: The Art of the Selfie: Artist Reflections from the Renaissance to Today

From the enigmatic gaze of Rembrandt to the bold brushstrokes of Van Gogh, self-portraits have long captivated both artists and viewers alike. This exhibition traces the evolution of the genre from the Renaissance to the present day, showcasing works by masters such as Frida Kahlo, Egon Schiele, and Cindy Sherman. How did the advent of photography in the 19th century influence the way artists portrayed themselves? Explore the changing notions of identity, self-expression, and artistic technique across five centuries of visual storytelling.
