Women who worked as artists were usually painters´ daughters, so they taught them the profession, but
normally they were not admitted in Art Schools or Academies, so they had to paint without
living models. So it was difficult for them to paint historical, mythical or religious compositions.
As a result of this, they focused on
portraits . And they understood self- portraits, as a way to revindicate
their value as artists.
Anyway, both men and women used to paint themselves as you have seen.
In fact there are some artists that made a lot of self portraits, as REMBRANDT:
ELISABETH VIGEÉ LEBRUN
DURERO
And there are artists who based their
pictorical works on their portraits, for example FRIDA KHALO:
VINCENT VAN GOGH
And CINDY SHERMAN
• Why did these three artists represented themselves so many times?
• All of them have chosen this gender to communicate and give their messagges through art, but why?
• Each one has different reasons.
• Now you have to look for information about their lives, and prepare a Powerpoint or Photostory explaining those reasons. (work in small groups).
• You will have to present it to the class.• Remember to mention: 1. why you choose this artist, 2. which is your favourite painting and explain its
meaning, or what colors are employed to paint it , and the moment of the artist´s life when it was made…(each member of the team has to explain it in class)
