Susanna Coffey, 2005, Slam Dunk; Kathe Kollowitz, 1912, Self Portrait; Paul Cezanne,???? , Self Portrait
2. All of the paintings are show texture in some way. The Cezanne and Coffey portraits use much more vivid colors and abstract textures while Kollowitz utilizes suability with her monochromatic painting. Yet Cezanne utilizes warmer colors while, Coffey used cooler colors. All three of them have done different views of their faces. Coffee seems to have utilizes a close up, while Kollowitz is a frontal view, and Cezanne chose a bust.
3. The strongest has to be Coffey. While Cezanne had a brighter piece, the one that stands out is Coffee. Coffee has a very surrealist piece and every color she uses flows seamlessly together. While obviously realism, it just barely touches the light to surrealism. Just because of the textures and colors she decides to use. It is a beautiful piece that seems to be more enjoyable than the rest.
4. I think that self portraits are something we take for granted. It takes a lot of skill to make any sort of representations to ourselves. Even one that is even remotely accurate to our true selves. That’s possibly why artists do them. They are difficult and really can atone to skill. Even if they are perhaps aesthetically worthless.
