Questions About Portrait Of Self
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A symbolic self portrait is an art that explores self-portraiture through the depiction of various objects that represent us.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Diego Rivera did 20 self-portraits during the course of his life.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024The reason why Pablo Picasso's self-portraits changed over time is a matter of debate. On the one hand, the dramatic differences could represent the artist's changing views of himself as he aged. Some experts argue that when viewed within the context of his other works, the changes in the self-portraits reflect the development of his shifting style, which leaned more and more toward the abstract throughout the 20th century. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Pablo Picasso art.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Exactly how much The Triple Self-Portrait is worth is unknown. However, when the painting by Norman Rockwell went up for auction in 2017, the winning bid was for more than $1.3 million. The piece is likely worth more today. Rockwell is among the most revered painters of the 20th century. His figurative and portrait paintings reflect an innocent and idyllic America described by the artist as "life as I would like it to be." For nearly 50 years, he illustrated the covers of The Saturday Evening Post in a rich and emotive style that gave distinctive personalities to his imagined characters. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of Norman Rockwell art.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Many artists have made self-portraits in old age. One famous example is Rembrandt, who painted his Self-Portrait in oils in 1669 at the age of 63. Pablo Picasso also painted himself throughout his life and produced several sketches of himself in 1972, when he was 90 years old. Other examples include Italian Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola, who created a self-portrait in 1620 while in her late 80s, and Peter Paul Rubens, who sketched himself sometime between 1635 and 1640, when he was in his 60s.
