Gift of Seymour Adelman, PA.1980.1.2. 5 "My style is the style of the person I am photographing." (Lotte Jacobi) Here, Jacobi borrows the artistic style of her sitter, artist and frequent self-portraitist Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945). By appropriating her strategies of tight cropping and direct address, Jacobi preserves the appearance of the subject confronting herself in a mirror. Perhaps she uses the portrait’s mirroring effect to identify herself with this fellow artist. media/PA.1980.1.2_BMC_f_2.jpg plain 2020-08-18T14:16:36+00:00 Esme Read dd6ffc8b12ade875e94a3b39793298d8e4cb3bde

Gift of Edith Finch (Class of 1922) from the Collection of Lucy Martin Donnelly (Class of 1893), 1949.16. 5 Mary Cassatt depicts a woman in front of a mirror as she arranges her hair. But does this woman use the mirror to look at herself? Or does the mirror let us look at her? By refusing to look in the mirror, she makes us aware of our intrusion. media/1949.16_BMC_f_3.jpg plain 2020-09-17T00:59:00+00:00 Carrie Robbins 615680eb6c62151dd186dbf3ed63a15b0ea341ea
