Self Portraits: From 1800 to the Present

With Self Portraits: From 1800 to the Present, Philippe Ségalot and Morgane Guillet have curated their ultimate collection of self-portraits, alternating between iconic and lesser- known figures whose portraits deeply moved them.

The book unfolds chronologically. Page after page, the reader is immersed in a real- life gallery where the works can be viewed at scale without any other distraction — an intimate journey across art history through self-portraiture.

The sharp selection of works embraces a variety of mediums, from traditional painting to photography, neon or found objects and so increasingly as we approach the present, demonstrating how artists continue to redefine the genre.

While some pieces don’t necessarily picture the artists themselves, they all represent their personal interpretation of what a self-portrait can be, show what they chose to reveal, how they wished to be seen, and how they viewed their own reflection through their art.

This volume is introduced by an introspective text from Robert Storr, the former Dean of Yale School of Art. With more than sixty carefully selected self-portraits to analyze, readers will be able to admire some of the art world’s most magnificent artworks, from Claude Monet, Félix Vallotton, and Gustave Caillebotte to David Hammons, Elizabeth Peyton, and Steven Shearer.

Book Care Guidelines

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your book, we recommend the following:

* Handle with Care: Always use clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover.
* Protect from Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
* Store Properly: Keep books in a cool, dry place, upright on a flat surface, and away from heat or moisture.
* Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to clean the cover and page edges.
* Open with Caution: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, to prevent damage to the binding.
* Avoid Food and Drinks: Keep books away from liquids and food to prevent accidental spills and stains.
* ⁠Less Spine Stress: Bookstands support the spine without forcing it flat, which helps prevent cracking or warping.
