Self Portrait in Drag, 1981
Source
This self-portrait of Warhol dressed in drag is super interesting to this project and the work that I'm looking into. Its the idea of the persona that the subject will put on when taking the 'selfie'. I again won't know if that is really what they are like or whether it is a persona just for the photograph. Warhol is such a famous figure and this picture just works so well because of it. He depended on photography within his work and this is his portrayal within the medium. One of his most famous self portraits and he is exaggerating himself.
