Lee Friedlander: Self Portrait

Lee Friedlander (1934)

Synopsis

Lee Friedlander's "Self Portrait," first published in 1970, showcases his surreal approach to photography by exploring his own presence within the images. The book contains approximately 50 duotone photographs highlighting Friedlander's playful engagement with self-portraiture through reflections and shadows, often placing them in witty contexts. His shadow may appear elongating among a group of women or bent over a chair, creating an uncanny yet expansive look into his life and thoughts. Accompanied by an afterword by John Szarkowski, the work reflects a provocative artistic journey with elements of humor and introspection.
