Me, Myself, I: Artists’ Self-Portraits: Royal West of England Academy

2 May - 19 June 2022
Overview

Five works from the Ruth Borchard Collection currently exhibited in Me, Myself, I: Artists' Self-Portraits at the RWA.

Me, Myself, I: Artists' Self-Portraits provides historical context to today's selfie culture, through an exploration of self-portraiture over the last three hundred years. The exhibition, curated by Tessa Jackson OBE, in particular explores the last fifty years and the ways artists have imagined and presented themselves: from the highly personal and psychological to the controversial and political.

 

Me, Myself, I: Artists' Self-Portraits includes over 80 artworks by major artists such as Grayson Perry, Tracey Emin, Sonia Boyce, Antony Gormley, Gillian Wearing, Harold Offeh, Shanti Panchal, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Angelica Kauffman, Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Lucian Freud, Patrick Heron, Tony Bevan, Madame Yevonde and many more.
