Spiegeloog – Het zelfportret in de Nederlandse kunst
Our The Do It Yourselfie Guide (New Window × Willem Popelier) is part of the Spiegeloog exhibition at Museum Arnhem.
What makes the self-portrait so popular? What does it say about the artist? Does an artist use a self-portrait to offer an insight into his inner self? In the exhibition The Mirrored Eye, Museum Arnhem presents the self-portrait, a genre that has been part of the visual arts for centuries. Besides self-portraits by neo-realists and contemporary artists from the Museum’s collection, important loans are displayed that show the evolution of this genre from the early 20th century to the present.
