Self Portraits

Self portraits are an example of how you see yourself, how you feel others depict you and how you personally express yourself. Artists do this through color, lines, rhythm. Some artists choose to use words in their self portraits incorporating their writing into their portraits. If I was to draw out or paint a self portrait I'd incorporate lots of vibrant colors, thick lines, and no negative space. I'd also somehow incorporate animals into my portrait because I spend lots of my free time taking care of my pets.

Henry Darger

Henry Darger was a visual artist and novelist. Born in 1892 in Chicago, Darger lost his mother at just four years old, at age eight he was placed in the Mission of Our Lady of Mercy Catholic orphanage after his father became ill and could no longer care for himself.

Hannah Hoch

Hannah Hoch was a german artist, she focused in on the dada movement, she is an orginator of the photomontage movement and often her work was made with collage. I chose to write about Hoch because i began studying her work 2 years ago and i find her work and I admire her "new woman" concept. I really like how she depicts people with deformed faces and her use of color and shape.
