Self Portraits Across Time
Whereas the paintings on the opposite wall are all composed from the perspective of the artist looking down at her body, the works on this wall showcase Hurtado’s experiments with her silhouette as a compositional element. We also see examples of Hurtado’s more conventional self-portraits, in which her solemn face looks directly out at the viewer.
