This pic is the most famous self portrait all over the world. Name is Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear by Vincent Van Gogh. He drew twenty more self portraits. Why did he many self portrait? We already know that artist live a lonely life. They always work alone and spend almost time for only their art work. I think they see their face the most often. Gogh is the most typical man who live lonely. He had good talent, but he was not famous artist while he is living.  This is reason why I chose this. His work is represent of self portrait, lonely.
 And I know there is another reason why artist handle themselves. One artist said self portrait is basic things in art. If artist can't do even self portrait, he wouldn't do anything. So they do themselves first.
