The exhibition explores the enduring theme of the artist’s self-portrait through photographs, prints, drawings, videos, and installation art from LACMA’s collection. Featuring over 50 artists, including Laura Aguilar, Kwame Brathwaite, and Cindy Sherman, the exhibition examines how American artists present themselves, whether through realism, symbolic tropes, humor, or conceptual methods. The exhibition highlights autobiographical narratives and redefines cultural identity.
