Along the way he investigates the importance of biography for serial self-portraitists such as van Gogh; themes of sex and genius in works by Munch and Modersohn-Becker; and the effect of globalization on the art of self-representation. From the exuberantly caricatural to the stoic and heroic, Hall covers a full range of portraits and looks deeply into the worlds and mindsets of the artists who created them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45046141321367,"sku":"9780500027271","price":1123.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780500027271.webp?v=1769217770","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/james-hall-on-the-self-portrait-9780500027271","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
