Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ, but you probably don’t think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist. But the chief executive of London’s Saatchi Gallery, Nigel Hurst, thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters. In support of the idea, the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression. It features well-known self-portraits from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh (1853-1890) and Rembrandt (1606–1669). It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era.” These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, according to the BBC． The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.
