“Is This About Me? Or by Me?”:
Comparing the Self Representations of a “Melancholic” and an “Icon”
Abby Zrike
Realism in Modern Art
Due: April 20, 2017
Abstract
When one visits a gallery, they only see the image of the art, not an image of the artist. However, in self-portraiture, these two become one in the same forcing us to consider how the identity of the artist impacts the work of art itself. Using artist Interviews as primary-source research, I will investigate the separation between art and the artist by analyzing two different artist’s approaches to self-portraiture.

“ I think that great art is deeply ordered. Even if within the order there may be enormously instinctive and accidental things, nevertheless I think that they come out of a desire for ordering and for returning fact onto the nervous system in a more violent way.”

My first anxiety group meeting was really weird. I don’t know if weird is the right term. I didn’t speak. I was not in the mood for it. I was judgemental of the other patients. This one girl was violently anxious. She said she was going through withdrawals off of Benzos. It makes me scared to take the medicine. She went into a detailed story about how terrible she had been feeling—paranoid. This other woman said that holding knives calm her down. Everyone was on edge, all ages, probably like ten people total. I looked down the whole time pretty much and doodled scary shapes. I don’t know why I was being like that. It was hard for me, I guess. I started to think about the benefit of making art about these feelings. How do I represent myself? I was so self-aware. The boy next to me was shaking his leg so fast, and then I realized I was doing it too.
I have spent the year creating a series of self-portrait paintings that showcase my struggle with anxiety and how it results in distorted thinking.

Two Possible Statements
My first anxiety group meeting was really weird. I don’t know if weird was the right term. I didn’t speak. I was not in the mood for it. I was judgemental of the other patients. This one girl was violently anxious. She said she is going through withdrawals off of Benzos— makes me scared to take the medicine. She went into a detailed story about how terrible she has been feeling—paranoid. This other woman said that holding knives calm her down. Everyone was on edge, all ages, probably like ten people total. I looked down the whole time pretty much and doodled this weird ass shit. I don’t know why I was being like that. It was hard for me I guess. I started to think thought about the benefit of making art about these stories, but it's all supposed to be confidential. But like I can't help that hearing these stories impact me, and the way I see myself. How do I represent myself? I was so self aware. I the boy was shaking his leg so fast next to me, and then I realised I was doing it too.
“Self portrayal is a complex and contemplative act. The private nature of the task, and the intensity of self-scrutiny that it entails has challenged artists through the ages”[i] I have spent the year creating self-portrait paintings that showcase my struggle with anxiety and how it results in distorted thinking.
