I just got a book in the mail today and so far it is fabulous. I have always hesitated doing a self-portrait because I don't like my looks. This book is having me look at things a little differently and I highly recommend it. The title of the book is: Mixed-Media Self-Portraits by Cate Coulacos Prato. One of the things that has always fascinated me about self-portraits are those done by Frida Kahlo. I think it is very interesting to compare her portraits by Diego Rivera and Frida's self-portraits. It is interesting to see how she viewed herself and how he viewed her.
