SELF PORTRAITS AS EXISTENTIAL AFFIRMATIONS
“Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?” ~ Paul Gauguin "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best." ~Frida Kahlo NOTE: This essay is about Tony Pinto’s brilliantly conceived and curated “Self/not Selfie” exhibition currently at the Golden West College Gallery. As its name indicates, the exhibition focuses on artists’ private images of themselves (i.e., self-portraits)—not on contemporary Smartphone photographs
