Neel - Self Portrait

I think the most interesting self portraits are those where the artist forfeits accuracy to highlight aspects that speak to their nature. To exemplify this, I've included a self portrait by Andy Warhol. Rather than doing a self portrait that show himself exactly as he is, Warhol plays with color and shading to highlight two important features of himself. He highlights his distinct face and white wig, which speak more to his nature than any normal photograph. In this way, the artist changes the definition of what a self portrait is, and brings into question how we see and define ourselves.
