Face-Painting - Only For Narcissists?
"Why do artists choose to show themselves in the first place, exposing themselves to accusations of narcissism among critics who seem to confuse self-representation with self-regard? Historically, there has never been much money or glory in it; self-portraits, unlike portraits, are rarely commissioned or appraised as the high point of an artist's career, even if by Rembrandt or Velázquez."
