Many painters, especially those in the west, like to paint their own portraits. Some of these selfies are realistic, some are abstract, and they "punch their eyes" in various strange ways. No matter what form of expression, self-portraits in works of art are artists' self-interpretation and expression of their artistic ideas. Some masters of painting, such as Van Gogh and Rembrandt, have dozens of self-portraits in different periods, which is simply writing autobiographies with a brush.

Here, I select some representative self-portraits of the most famous painters at home and abroad for your appreciation.

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci was a genius painter in the European Renaissance. His Mona Lisa and The Last Supper are famous all over the world. This portrait of Leonardo da Vinci was painted by Leonardo da Vinci at the age of 60. The whole painting is smooth and refined, with lines instead of faces, especially the density of lines to show the subtle changes of light and shade. Strong three-dimensional sense, vivid expressions of characters, and deep eyes full of wisdom are impressive.

Does Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait have any reference for Mona Lisa?

van gogh

Van Gogh is a famous post-impressionist painter in Holland. He was a pioneer of expressionism and deeply influenced the art of the 20th century. Van Gogh has many portraits, and this painting is the most famous of all his self-portraits 1888, Van Gogh invited Gauguin to live with him in arles. However, the personality conflicts and ideological differences between the two artists often lead to disputes. After a quarrel, Gauguin left angrily. Van Gogh, who was suffering from "madness", repented afterwards and even cut off his right ear, which became the most amazing self-mutilation behavior in art history. This painting was created shortly after he cut off his ear. Van Gogh's melancholy eyes, exaggerated cold face and cheeks and bandages in the painting give people a strong visual impact.

Let's compare van Gogh's appearance in reality and experience the brushstrokes of his self-portrait.

Dali

Dali is a Spanish surrealist painter. His works are full of imagination, and even self-portraits are so unconventional. Above is a picture of his old age. This selfie is very heavy, and those two upturned moustaches are really similar.

Picasso

Picasso is an internationally recognized master of art, and he has also played an extremely important role in promoting world art, greatly changing people's thinking and way of painting creation and appreciation. This self-portrait is his 1938 work, and the cubist style can be seen.

Picasso's last self-portrait before his death showed his real inner world facing the abyss of death with crayons, eyes wide with fear, closed lips and gaunt face.

Veri lebrun

Valerie lebrun is a famous French female painter in the19th century. It seems that the self-portraits of female painters at that time were more reliable and closer to human beings, hee hee ~

Maybe lebrun thinks he can eat with his face value, so this selfie is very nice. She stood upright, with a palette and a brush in her left hand, smiling at her mouth, wearing a simple low-cut dress and an elegant straw hat with beautiful ostrich hair and flowers. The skirt is made of satin with a luxurious black shawl, depicting an elegant and confident female image.

Yayoi Kusama

An oriental female painter was chosen here. Yayoi Kusama is a contemporary Japanese female artist. She is called "the Queen of Bofen". In this self-portrait, she has never let go of expressing her crazy love for Diandian, but no matter how she does it, she still has the Japanese national style of "Ukiyo-e".

Evonne, Song Huizong

This is Evonne's Listening to Music by Song Zongwei. Under the green bamboo of Takamatsu, a man in brown is sitting on the violin. According to the textual research of Hu Jing's Xiqing Ji Zha in Qing Dynasty, this is a self-portrait of Zhao Xin. If so, this is the oldest self-portrait handed down by China. However, most academic circles think that this painting was not made by Zhao Ji, but by the painter of the Academy at that time, and the signature was only Evonne. Judging from the portrait, his bearing and personality are undoubtedly an emperor or something.

Zhang Daqian

Zhang Daqian is a master of Chinese painting with world influence. He combines literati painting, palace painting and folk art. Zhang Daqian's most creative is figure painting, and many of his self-portraits are excellent works with profound implications.

Zhang Daqian's ego is cool.

Qi Baishi

Qi Baishi is a household name in China. Qi Baishi is good at painting grass, insects and flowers, and figure painting is also quite distinctive. With a few simple strokes, the expression of the characters will be vividly portrayed. His self-portrait "People scold me and curse me" stereotyped himself as a man with white eyebrows and a white beard, not as illustrated as praying to God.

Xu Beihong

Xu Beihong is the founder of modern art in China. His paintings combine ancient and modern Chinese and foreign techniques. This is a self-portrait of him when he was young, and his face is still childish. However, the techniques at this time have tasted the fusion of Chinese and western.

This oil painting "They in the Mirror" is one of a series of self-centered works drawn by Xu Beihong in France on 1924. Jiang Biwei is holding a cat in front, followed by Xu Beihong. His works show his love for life.

Zikai Feng

Feng Zikai's comic works full of rich flavor of life are deeply loved by the public. In this self-portrait, he painted his beard as a weeping willow, which is very interesting.

huang yongyu

Huang Yongyu's paintings are humorous and I like them best. This self-portrait has two funny ears, squints, a round belly and a big pipe on the ground. This is a 90-year-old self-portrait of Huang Yongyu, an old urchin, dancing like a three-year-old child!

This is a self-portrait of Huang Yongyu at the age of 65.

Pan-Yu Liang

Pan is a famous female painter and sculptor in China. Special experience and complicated experience endow Pan with certain bitterness. This is a self-portrait of Pan Yu 1940 in France, which is recognized as the most beautiful of his self-portraits. In this painting, the hair with Chinese style and the embroidered black cheongsam with classical temperament perfectly set off her inner tenderness and grace, and her blurred eyes seemed to reveal a trace of sadness. This self-portrait contains sadness, sadness and rich artistic conception.

This is the only self-portrait of Pan Yuliang with dew point. Only this painting, Pan finally smiled. Her cheeks were flushed and her expression was intoxicated. As her friend said, it seems that this is her wild face. Perhaps only by drinking can she make peace with her naked and true self and bid farewell to her sadness. This painting was auctioned at Christie's in Hong Kong in 2005, with a record of 9.64 million yuan.

Chen Yifei

Chen Yifei is a famous contemporary China artist at home and abroad. With the concept of "great art" before his death, he made creative achievements in film, clothing and environmental design, and became a cultural celebrity.

Chen Yifei took only two selfies. This is called fixed pace, which was created at the beginning of reform and opening up. This is a huge picture in picture. The painter painted his back for the first time and only time. He stared at a representative scene depicting the warlord regime and foreign invasion in the early 20th century, showing the theme of reflecting on modern history from a humanistic perspective.

This is Chen Yifei's The Artist and Many Beautiful Women. The man in the painting is Chen Yifei himself. In terms of creative techniques, Chen Yifei uses large flat paintings, which is his new exploration in the artistic language of painting.

After reading many artists' self-portraits, one little guy was unconvinced. ...

What do you think of its work?
