Self-Exposure

Filed under: Exhibitions — Artflux at 5:14 pm on Wednesday, June 22, 2005


The nude self-portrait is perhaps the most intimate form of photography. It’s an image of myself much younger than I am now. Perhaps the portrait of the artist as a young man. Self-Exposure features more than 100 works from both established masters and up-and-coming photographers–many never before published. This groundbreaking collection traces the development of the male self-portrait from its earliest beginnings with such greats as Hippolyte Bayard, Herbert Tobias, and André Kertész, to the contemporary efforts of such artists as John Dugdale, Anthony Goicolea, and Yasumasa Morimura. Each artist takes a uniquely individual approach ranging from the shockingly perverse and aggressively erotic to the elusively self-conscious and sublimely beautiful. Complete with brief biographies of each artist, Self-Exposure is a powerful survey of this most seductive subject.
