Self-Portrait and its Forms in Works of Famous Photographers and in Works of Younger Generation in the Czech and Slovak Republic
 Bričová, Katarína ; Grygar, Štěpán (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
My graduation thesis shows reflections on the phenomenon of the self ? portrait. I am particularly interested in the answer to the question why most artists have been attracted by the self ? portrait. At the beginning of my thesis I follow examples of the self ? portraiture in the history of Art. First part refers to the development of the self ? portrait in photography. Then I show how the self ? portrait was influenced from Ancient Egypt to Renaissance and Impressionism and how it is influenced in the present times. The self ? portrait has appeared in photography from the very beginning. Its different aspects are shown in photographic self ? portraits of famous photographers. In next chapter I focus on different features of this phenomenon in works of contemporary photographers such as Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, Orlan, Jeff Koons, Gilbert and George and others. The sixth chapter is devoted to a seeking and exploring generation of younger artists from the Czech and Slovak Republics. They are either recent graduates in Art or students of Art at universities. I interview them in attempt to discover a source of inspiration for their photographic self ? portraits and to find out how it started, what goals they wanted to attain by self ? presentation and how they benefit from it. In the last chapter I explain the importance of self ? portrait in my life. Is it a form of art therapy or a form of narcissism? Are intimate confessions of artists really important in the present times? In conclusion I reflect on the answers from the interviews with some contemporary photographers and sum up my discoveries from them.
