Brief Analysis And Research On Seif-portrait And Self-portrait’s Painter

The relation between self-portrait and self-portrait’s painter is the main content that this thesis discusses. The autobiography of self-portrait is a recognized function in the topics for discussion and research on self-portrait. However, self-portrait is the creation that is created after all. The mental state of the painter upon creating the self-portrait of one’s own makes the self-portrait covered with a layer of unspoken and mysterious veil. The first chapter of this thesis synoptically sorts out the history of self-portrait so as to provide a basic and objective context for the follow-up discussions. This chapter selects some typical self-portraits and their creators to make case studies, thus the relation between self-portrait and the painter is brought into the discussion. The second chapter analyzes the self-portrait painter and the self-portrait’s abstract method of creation. This chapter discusses on the roles that self-portrait’ painter and self-portrait play and the tasks they both undertake on the concept of abstraction. In the third chapter, the third party other than the self-portrait and self-portrait’s painter, namely the right of the "viewer" to interpret after the authoritative interpretation is discussed. This kind of right also invests the artistic works with much broader implications and the self-portrait with the new charm.
