2004
About the Item
Len Prince and Jessie Mann embarked on a collaboration in which Mann assumed a range of guises that draw on historical persons and iconic images. Mann, the daughter and frequent subject for her mother, Sally Mann, felt compelled to explore the creative possibilities of self-fictionalization and she became the perfect muse for Prince, whose portraits of celebrities often reference “Old Hollywood” glamour and the power of transformation.
While recovering from the bus accident that left her bedridden for months, Frida Kahlo would paint portraits of herself using a mirror that was attached to her canopy bed. "Frida lived surrounded by mirrors," said Lola Alverez Bravo, a Mexican photographer who documented Kahlo throughout her life. Kahlo had a mirror on the front of her wardrobe, next to her dressing table, and even on the wall of her outdoor patio.
"I paint myself because I am often alone, and I am the subject I know best."

- Mats Gustafson (illustrator) and Linda Evangelista in Christian LacroixBy Patrick DemarchelierLocated in New York, NY“Linda has slanted, almond-shaped eyes, extremely beautiful nostrils that tilt another way, and a mouth that angled in a third direction – femininity combined with strength, womanliness mixed with girlishness. I think this why we all respond so much to Linda – we read into her face all those received charismatic images. With these images and all the preexisting pictures of Linda in the back of my mind, I found it easy to distill her features to a very simple form.” -Mats Gustafson...Category
