Jacob Kainen (b 1909-2001) Self Portrait, 1947 drypoint, edition 20 7 3/4 x 5 5/8" return In doing a self-portrait the artist has no one's vanity to satisfy except his own. He is free to treat his features honestly, without illusion. But if he is too determined to see himself warts and all, he risks losing that romantic self-delusion that makes him an artist in the first place. JK
