'Selfies' are everywhere - from Kim Kardashian, queen of the
selfie, to the Queen of England photobombing the Australian hockey
team's selfie in 2014, you can't open a newspaper, or visit a news
website, without seeing one. Recent technology, such as the selfie
stick, and camera phones, have helped make the selfie a global
trend, so you would be forgiven for thinking that this is a modern
trend. But in fact, the first known selfies date from about 40,000
years ago and are hand stencils, discovered on a cave wall in
Indonesia. Produced in conjunction with the Art Archive, Selfie
charts the progress and the development of the self portrait, from
Indonesian caves, through famous self-portrait artists such as
Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso and the invention of the camera,
to iconic modern selfies such as the 2014 Oscar photograph. It
looks at trends, techniques and the tales behind some famous self
portraits - do you know why Van Gogh was driven to cut off a chunk
of his ear? Or how Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's stormy marriage
affected their painting? Which teenage member of the Russian royal
family sent a selfie she had taken in a mirror to a friend in 1914?
And how are Andy Warhol's photographic techniques still influencing
selfie-takers today? Selfie has the answers to all these questions,
and many more! Packed full of fascinating information and
incredible images, this is a must-have book for selfie-lovers of
all ages!
