Description...

Art critic Laura Cumming takes a journey through more than
five centuries of self-portraits and finds out how the greatest
names in western art transformed themselves into their own
masterpieces. The film argues that self-portraits are a unique
form of art, one that always reveals the truth of how artists
saw themselves and how they wanted to be known to the world.
Examining the works of key self-portraitists including Durer,
Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Warhol, Laura traces the development of
the genre, uncovering the strange and various ways artists have
managed to get their inner and outer selves to match up. Laura
investigates the stories behind key self-portraits, interviews
artists as they attempt a self-portrait, and shows how the
history of the self-portrait is about more than how art and
artists have changed; it also charts the evolution of the way we
see ourselves and what it means to be human. She also discusses
Courbet with Julian Barnes, Rembrandt's theatricality with Simon
Callow, and meets the contemporary artists Mark Wallinger and
Patrick Hughes, observing the latter making his first ever
self-portrait.
