Portrait of James Baldwin made in the United States in 1945

beauford delaney american (active paris) 1901 - 1979 This painting is a very early depiction of the famous writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin, who was twenty-one when Delaney created this portrait. As in Delaney's self-portraits, he painted one eye slightly different from the other, a pictorial device also found in Pablo Picasso's paintings. Of the many portraits Delaney made of Baldwin, this one is among his most direct and expressive. They should keep a see close eye on this painting becuase it is one of a kind thats why they shuld keep clos eyes on this portrait. Edward Hagedorn 1902-1982

Edward Hagedorn, an exceptional draftsman, briefly attended the San Francisco School of Fine Arts before turning his attention to the groundbreaking art that was being exhibited in the Bay Area. In 1926, while Hagedorn was still honing his craft, Galka Scheyer, the collector, dealer and champion of European modernism, mounted an extremely influential exhibition at the Oakland Art Gallery on the artists known as the Blue Four. The works by Lyonel Feininger, Alexei Jawlensky, Vasily Kandinsky and Paul Klee made a great impression on Hagedorn, and he immediately embraced the expressionist techniques he found there. The reductive, linear quality of this presumed self-portrait, together with the unnatural color and dysmorphic features, ally his work with that of the European modernists. Hagedorn’s accomplished style led Scheyer to request repeatedly that he submit work to her exhibitions. He always refused because, according to a close friend, he was an artist who “had no use for success.it shuld be on close watch at all times becuase it is one of a kind portrait Alexei Jawlensky Russian, 1864-1941 mla citation Norton Simon Museum, The Blue Four Galka Scheyer Collection P.1953.158 © 2008 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn

This is one of a kind an i think it shuld be heavaly guarded it is a very nice portraitt i like it alott. On the reverse of this painting, Jawlensky has inscribed: "If the light in you is extinguished, then a dark shadow of your own heart falls across your path. Be on guard against these terrible shadows. No light of your understanding can destroy the darknesses which flow out of your soul until all self-loving thoughts have been driven out." _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gabriela Gutierrez and Lorena Sanchez period.5 Artist: Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, Antwerp 1599–1641 London) Title: //Self-portrait// Date possibly 1620–21 Medium Oil on canvas Dimensions 47 1/8 x 34 5/8 in.

There is a possibility that the Museum's picture was painted before Van Dyck left Antwerp for Italy in the autumn of 1621, and are not so sure about the order in which the Munich and St. Petersburg self-portraits were painted, it seems clear that they are both somewhat later than ours. Several copies of the Museum's picture are known or recorded. A bust-length copy, probably from the 18th century, is in the National Portrait Gallery, London. Paul Pontius's engraving of Van Dyck's self-portrait has been thought to reproduce a detail of the present picture, but the print probably follows a sketch or another painted version.

This self-portrait is of Edgar Degas. Around 1857, when he was twenty-three or twenty-four, Degas traveled to Italy, where he spent alot of time making copies after Renaissance masters. The period was one of self-education and he drew prolifically, writing in one of his notebooks, "I must thoroughly realize I know nothing at all; it is the only way to get ahead." Finding in himself a willing sitter, he made fifteen or more self-portraits in various media during his time in Italy.

Francesco Paolo Michetti Italian, 1877 Pastel and body color on brown paper 18 x 11 1/4 in. 94.GG.48 Francesco Paolo Michetti chose to title this drawing //Scherzo// to reflect the intention behind his self-portrait. He expressed the idea of a //scherzo//, a sprightly musical composition or movement. The brilliance of Michetti's color, particularly the halo of white around his face, also evokes the //scherzo// 's liveliness. During the middle of 1800s, many artists believed in a theory known as //synesthesia//: that color and sound were so closely related that color could stimulate the sensation of sound, and sound could stimulate the sensation of color. At age twenty-six, in the same year that one of his pictures received great public acclaim, Michetti drew multiple self-portraits. His direct gaze, the proud angle of his head, and the bravura handling convey his self-confidence.
