Grace Hartigan (American, 1922-2008)
Self-Portrait
"All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster's autobiography."
"To paint
yourself is to become conscious of who you are,
and how you wish the world to see you.
Because the artist does not have to please a client,
he or she can drop the social mask
to reveal emotional as well as physical truths"
