The Self-Portrait: a Cultural History
With James Hall, author

Saturday 21 June , 2-3pm, Headley Lecture Theatre

Recounting the history of the self-portrait, this lecture offers insights into artists’ psychological and creative worlds. James Hall talks about the medieval ‘mirror craze’, the confessional self-portraits of Titian and Michelangelo, and the multiple selves of contemporary artists such as Claude Cahun and Cindy Sherman.
