This is two actors from Sweden Johan Rheborg (1963) and Henrik Schyffert (1968).
Besides being great actor are both of them artists and and currently they have a TV show about photography, there they are trying to find new inspiration for their work.
I like this picture of them two because they are trying to reflect their crazy stereotypes, which they have built up during their career as actors. You can see that they have worked a lot together and are good friends. Like also that they have built up a good contrast between their “normal” personalities and their self-portraits as they carrying.
Self-Portrait of Carl Larsson (1853-1919), Swedish painter and interior designer, representative of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
His painting works seems to include oil and watercolours. He have some kind of childhood in his works and it feels like he loves what he are doing.
I like this photo because it have fine colours and the childhood he tries to bring out with the photo when he is holding the doll, which can be reflected with his mind of a child.
He considered his finest work to be Midvinterblot (Midwinter Sacrifice), a large wall mural now displayed inside the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts.
This is a self-portrait of August Strindberg, (1849-1912), a famous artist from Sweden.
I like this picture because it’s an original black and white photo and taken by a old camera and no Photoshop and such have been used.
I found many self-portraits of August Strindberg and I chose this one of the reason that he actually looking in to the camera and don’t flee with his eyes as in many of his other portraits .
I think the picture is really good for its time. It’s sharp and the light is pointed at his face, to give it the focus. I also like when the background is blurred so it don’t take the main focus of the picture.
You can see this picture in the Museum of Strindberg in Stockholm.
Self-portrait of the artist Ivar Arosenius (1878), Sweden.
The photo is made in watercolour and have the measurements 31 x 24 centimetres and was made in Sweden 1906. The owner of this photo is the Swedish National Museum.
I like this photo because Ivar Arosenius sees himself as a bohemian with male artist ideals and I also like it because of the contrast between his head and the flowers.
The photo is portrayed in the nature of Europe and Ivar have a large garland of flowers on his head, wearing a beard and a wool sweater.
