Artists have always painted themselves, not
necessarily from self-interest but because in
themselves they always could find model
Rembrandt, it will be recalled not only painted
himself as himself, but in many costumes and
characters. One Of the most interesting rooms
IN the Ufiizi Gallery is given up, it will also be
reme mbered, to portraits of artists by them
selves. To be sure we do not aIways see o,r-
selves as others see us and In many instances

nattering; but self-portraiture has always had
and will always have an interest quite its own
The introduction to the catalogue of this ex-
hipitlon OF self-portraits is by Edward Alden
Jewell OF the Art Department of the New York
Times and is written with lightness of touch
that is quite typical
