This richly illustrated book features an introduction by the
National Portrait Gallery's chief curator and nearly 150 insightful
entries on key self-portraits in the museum's collection. Eye to I
provides readers with an overview of self-portraiture while
revealing the intersections that exist between art, life, and
self-representation. Drawing primarily from the museum's
collection, Eye to I explores how American artists have portrayed
themselves over the past two centuries. The book shows that while
each individual approaches self-portraiture under unique
circumstances, all of their representations raise important
questions about self-perception and self-reflection. Sometimes
artists choose to reveal intimate details of their inner lives.
Other times they use the genre to obfuscate their true selves or
invent alter egos. Today, with the proliferation of selfies and the
contemporary focus on identity, it is time to reassess the
significance of the self-portrait.
