Self-portraiture: a declaration and exploration of identity

I'm writing a paper on the evolution of self-portraiture leading up to one of Van Gogh's self-portraits. While researching self-portraits by other artists I came across a self-portrait by Anselm Feurbach. I almost flipped past the page but I stopped myself, turned back, and was taken by the intensity of the artist's stare. I looked it up online and saw it in color. Somehow the black-and-white print made it seem more dramatic. It's still worth looking at though. I thought, "I should write this down somewhere so I don't forget to come back to it later."

So, that's why I'm writing about it now.

That's all for now.
