A series on artist’s self-portraits. Some are famous as portraitists, others not so much, but very many artists have painted their own portraits over centuries. Some of the more contemporary artists became more experimental with their style of painting as time went on, and it’s interesting to see that development in their own portraits as well.
I decided to run the series in alphabetical order rather than chronological order, to give a more interesting mix of styles through the ages.
This is part 5 of an 8-part series on Artist’s Self Portraits:
Julio González i Pellicer (1876 Barcelona, Spain – 1942 Arcueil, France) was a Catalan sculptor and painter who developed the expressive use of iron as a medium for modern sculpture.
John
Bellany CBE, RA (1942 Cockenzie and
Port Seton, UK – 2013 Saffron Walden, UK) was a Scottish painter. In 1988 the
artist underwent liver transplant surgery. As soon as he came out of intensive
care he began producing self-portraits charting the course of his
convalescence.
