SELF: SELFIES AND SELF PORTRAITS
IF the ancient Greeks implored us to "know thyself" and common knowledge assures us that "a picture is worth a thousands words", doesn't it follow that the amalgamation of random know-nothing's collectively called "the human race" should be CONSTANTLY photographing themselves in an effort to gain true wisdom and artistic insight? It should! And also because it's just plain insanely inventive to do so!
Just ask ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE or CINDY SHERMAN. This month 1650 goes completely SELF-CENTERED as we pay homage to the time-honored art of
the SELF-PORTRAIT! And while we highly encourage you NOT to cut your ear off before snapping your own mug, we do encourage you to muster a little bit of the artistic passion that fueled a certain well-known Dutch dude's compulsion to capture the true spirit within. Dive in head first into the wonderful world of
SELF-PORTRAITS and SELFIES!!!
Sixty nine photographs were selected from the submissions for the SELF: SELFIES AND SELF PORTRAITS exhibition at 1650 Gallery.
