For those of you out there in the Sydney area I highly recommend the current self portrait exhibition at the NSW Art Gallery.
A major exhibition, it brings together painted self-portraits by some of the world's greatest artists from the mid 16th Century to the beginning of the 21st Century, so there's somrthing for everybody. It features fifty carefully selected self-portraits in oil painting, including a mix of familiar faces and more surprising choices. Major works by artists renowned for their self-portraits such as Velásquez, van Gogh and Kahlo feature alongside works by less well known artists, whose self-portraits are of exceptional quality and interest. The international range of artists represented also includes Carracci, Cézanne, Close, Freud, Hogarth, Reynolds, Rubens, Warhol, Whistler, Valadon and Hopper.
The exhibition runs until 14 May
Sofonisba Anguissola 'Self-portrait at the Easel Painting a Devotional Panel', 1556.

I really like your site! There's something for everyone- from the high art buff to the hilary duff fan (which I so am). Keep it up.
