Portraiture
is a dialogue between artist and sitter. If the artist is successful,
the completed artwork offers not just a pictorial record of the sitter’s
features, but also a glimpse into the soul. Not surprisingly, self-portraits are often the rawest and most revealing form of portraits. We present a selection of images from the akg collection. |
